Jacoby Brissett, not Kyler Murray

ARIZONA -- Kyler Murray will not start for the Arizona Cardinals against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Murray has missed the prior two games with a mid-foot sprain, and now Jacoby Brissett will be the starter, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
The main injuries of note here in this AFC Championship Game rematch is that the Chiefs will be without Isiah Pacheco, meaning more carries for Kareem Hunt and rookie Brashard Smith, and the Bills will be without Joshua Palmer, who's been solid as a third or fourth receiving option in Buffalo's offense.
Kyler Murray was limited in practice for the second consecutive day ahead of the Cardinals’ Week 9 game with the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
If he were to suit up for the Nuggets on Friday night, Murray would likely be matched up against Portland's All-Defensive Team-caliber forward Toumani Camara, a one-on-one battle that would call for the Nuggets' 28-year-old guard to exert plenty of energy and use extra force in an effort to receive open looks.
Next week, things could get complicated for Brian Schottenheimer. The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up to face the Arizona Cardinals, and on paper, it might look easy.
Puka Nacaua's injury layoff is over. The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver will play in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. Nacua's return is a welcome sight for fantasy football players that missed his impact over the last two weeks.
Murray's return should help revive the Cardinals' ground game, which hasn't recovered since losing former Pro Bowl running back James Conner to a season-ending injury in Week 3. Arizona has averaged 118.2 rushing yards with Murray this season and just 91 yards per game without him.
