Jacoby Brissett will start at quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals in their Monday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, head coach Jonathan Gannon announced. The decision comes as Kyler Murray continues to recover from a knee injury.

Gannon stated that Murray’s potential involvement in the game hinges on his performance during Saturday's practice. While Brissett is confirmed as the starter, the possibility of Murray seeing some playing time remains open, albeit contingent on his progress.

Brissett, a veteran quarterback, previously played for the New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, and Washington Commanders. He steps in for Murray, who suffered a knee injury earlier this season. The Cardinals are hoping Brissett can provide stability at the quarterback position as they face a tough challenge against the Cowboys.

The Monday Night Football game between the Cardinals and Cowboys is a crucial matchup for both teams. Arizona is looking to improve their standing in the NFC West, while Dallas aims to maintain their position as a top contender in the NFC. The game will be broadcast nationally and is expected to draw a large audience.

The Cardinals’ coaching staff will be closely monitoring Murray’s recovery throughout the week, and a final decision on his role will be made after Saturday’s practice. For now, Brissett is preparing to lead the Cardinals offense against the Cowboys’ defense.
