QB Kyler Murray says he’ll play in must-win game for Arizona Cardinals

TEMPE, #Ariz. — #Cardinals quarterback #Kyler #Murray will play in #Sunday’s win-or-go-home season finale against the #Los #Angeles #Rams, he said #Wednesday.

#Murray suffered a leg injury late in last week’s loss to the #San #Francisco 49ers, putting his status for #Sunday’s game in question.

#Earlier this week, coach #Kliff #Kingsbury was “hopeful” #Murray would play. The second-year quarterback put any questions to rest during his weekly video conference call with reporters.

“#Yeah, I’ll be playing,” #Murray said.

#In his first comments since the injury, #Murray said he’s “feeling good” and that he was hit in the “right spot” on his right leg by 49ers defensive lineman #Alex #Barrett.

#If the #Cardinals beat the #Rams, they’ll make the playoffs for the first time since 2015, when they went to the NFC #Championship #Game. #If they lose, the #Cardinals will end their season 8-8.

#This is the first win-or-go-home game in #Murray’s short NFL career, leading the reigning rookie of the year to say “the game is different.”

“There’s no holding back,” #Murray said. “#We lose, I’ll be home, chilling. #My leg, I’m fine.”
