Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said last week he planned on quarterback Kyler Murray getting some work in the preseason opener along with other starters. That will not be the case as the Cardinals take on the Dallas Cowboys in the preseason opener.
Murray and other known stars on the team did not dress for Friday’s game.
In addition to Murray, receiver DeAndre Hopkins, linebacker Chandler Jones and safety Budda Baker will not face the Cowboys.
Many starters are out with injuries, such as the entire projected defensive line, guards Justin Murray and Brian Winters, as well as receiver A.J. Green.
But the Cardinals’ healthy Pro Bowl-caliber players sat out the opener.
With Murray sitting, backup quarterback Colt McCoy will play behind the starting offensive line, while the starting receivers are expected to be KeeSean Johnson, Christian Kirk and Andre Baccellia.
