Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is ‘set to remain on the PUP list, despite being eligible to be removed from it on Monday’

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is not expected to be removed from the physically unable to perform list, although he will be eligible to do so on Monday, according to ESPN.

Murray has been out of action since tearing the ACL in his right knee last December in a game against the New England Patriots.

The 2019 No. 1 overall pick said to be considered ‘weeks away’ from playing, although he reportedly plans to slowly begin ramping up his comeback efforts in an attempt to return to the field this season.

‘It just doesn’t feel like [Murray’s return] is imminent,’ a Cardinals source told ESPN.

A Cardinals spokesperson did not immediately respond to Daily Mail.com’s request for comment.

Coach Jonathan Gannon recently said the team is taking Murray’s recovery ‘one day at a time’

The NFL’s guidelines in regard to the PUP list state that after a player has spent four weeks on the list his team will have a five-week window for him to return to practice.

Following the player’s return to practice he will the team will then have three weeks to activate him to the 53-man roster.

If Murray or any player on the PUP list does not return to the 53-man roster by the end of those deadlines he will be forced to remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season.

‘[We would] love to have him out there,’ Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Sept. 22. ‘He’s itching to be back, but we’ll take that one day at a time.’ 

Last season before sustaining the injury Murray went 259-390 for 2,368 yards, 14 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
