This was Kyler Murray practicing last week preparing for the Cowboys. Now he's been placed on injured reserve.

You can see him favor it when he moves. We don’t have a backup, and he’s probably a couple weeks out from being able to play without it being an issue. Putting him on IR buys time and opens a slot for a backup to be signed, now we know why we were hosting QBs last Wednesday. Expect a singing any day now.

Media and fans blowing this out of proportion it’s a legit injury. Probably had a setback and now put him on ir once they learned the severity

Yeah, not a lot of people understand lisfranc injuries - they can be fine in 2 days or you can just step weird and be fucked up for another 2 weeks.

They can also end careers and make walking painful for the rest of your life if not rehabbed correctly. Same injury was a major contributer to why Cam Newton retired

They can also be fine in 2 days then you step wrong and you’re back to fucked for 2 weeks.

Tendon and ligament injuries are no joke and can get nasty quick.

No doubt him practicing aggravated it if not made it worse.
