Kyler Murray Preparing For Comeback: Posts Workout Video 13 Weeks After ACL Surgery
Kyler Murray, the standout quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, recently debuted a fascinating film documenting his post-surgery injury rehabilitation.
Kyler Murray Preparing For Comeback: Posts Workout Video 13 Weeks After ACL Surgery
Murray, 25, tore his ACL, which ended his 2022 NFL season. During Arizona’s Week 14 “Monday Night Football” game against the New England Patriots, the Cardinals’ star quarterback was hurt during the first quarter and had to be replaced by seasoned Colt McCoy.
Murray’s injury was not brought on by a rival. In actuality, the rip that appeared after rolling to his right was caused by non-contact. The fact that Murray’s Cardinals teammates lost the game 13–27 only served to compound Murray’s woes.

He totaled 13,648 passing yards, 104 total touchdowns and 40 interceptions across his four-year, 55-game career.
