The Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals face off on Sunday in an NFL showdown at the University of Phoenix Stadium. 

Who Starts at Quarterback for the Cardinals?

Kyler Murray has been taken off the injury report, but it’s still unclear if he’s going to start in this game. Coach Jonathan Gannon has said he’s healthy, but it’s still unclear if he or Joshua Dobbs will start in this game. Joshua Dobbs is a fine quarterback, but if Murray is back, that is going to be a huge upgrade for the offense. On the season the Cardinals sit with a 1-6 record overall and the question is does this team want to play for the first overall pick? Arizona is averaging 18.1 points while their defense is giving up 26 points per game.
