BYRON MURPHY JR. NEWS

Ankle injury surfaces Murphy (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Murphy didn't have any limitations Wednesday, suggesting this is a new injury. The starting cornerback will need to heal up quickly in order to suit up for Sunday's trip to Jacksonville, and Murphy's status at Friday's practice should provide more clarity on his chances of playing.

Ruled out for Week 9 Murphy (illness) won't play Sunday against Miami, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Murphy confirmed that he tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week, so his absence Sunday will come as no surprise. The 2019 second-round pick will be eligible to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list once he's asymptomatic and 10 days have passed since his last positive test, so he could still come back in time to face Buffalo in Week 10 if everything goes right.

Announces he's contracted COVID-19 Murphy has tested positive for COVID-19, as reported on his personal Twitter account.

Impact A confirmation test will surely be issued in the near future to verify Murphy's status, but this update means there is a high probability of him being forced to sit Week 9 against Miami. Per NFL regulations, if Murphy becomes asymptomatic he can return once 10 days have passed since the initial positive test. Alternatively, should Murphy become asymptomatic and post two consecutive negative PCR virus tests at least 24 hours apart, he could return as soon as five days from the initial positive result.
