KYLER MURRAY NEWS

Back from three-game absence Murray (ankle) is active for Sunday's game at Chicago, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Murray hasn't played since the Cardinals' final offensive play of a Week 8 loss to the Packers, the result of a sprained ankle. In advance of this contest, he logged limited showings in practice -- like he did before Arizona's last game Nov. 21 -- but this time around he'll actually be available and direct the offense. After a three-game absence, Murray will be facing a Bears defense that has allowed the ninth-most YPA (7.7) and 18 touchdowns versus five interceptions to quarterbacks in 11 outings this season.

Gets green light from coach Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury told Stacey Dales of NFL Network that Murray (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, will play.

Impact Murray will be officially announced as Arizona's Week 13 starting quarterback when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but Kingsbury's comments should clear up any lingering questions fantasy managers had about the 24-year-old's availability. Even though Murray has been cleared to return from a three-game, four-week absence, it's fair to wonder how he'll look following the one-month layoff. Given that preserving Murray's health for a potential playoff run is likely the Cardinals' top priority, his designed runs could be scaled back a bit down the stretch, which would be detrimental to his fantasy outlook. In his final four games before exiting the lineup, Murray had already seen a major reduction in his output on the ground, as he compiled only 38 rushing yards and no touchdowns during that stretch.

Impact Murray has been out since Week 8, but after practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday following Cardinals' Week 12 bye, the quarterback looks like he'll be ready to return to the lineup. Given that he hasn't returned to full participation in practice, however, it's possible Murray won't be quite his usual dynamic self even if does in fact suit up. Official confirmation on Murray's status should come 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Cardinals release their inactive list.

Impact Even with the benefit of a Week 12 bye to aid his recovery, Murray is questionable for the fourth game in a row, with head coach Kliff Kingsbury once again characterizing the franchise signal-caller as a "game-day decision," according to Urban. Since Murray also logged a trio of limited practices Week 11 before ultimately sitting out a third straight game in the Cardinals' win over the Seahawks, it's tough to gauge whether he truly made enough progress to return to action following the bye week. Like Murray, star wideout DeAndre Hopkins has also missed three straight contests and is being labeled a game-time call, but he may be trending in the wrong direction after following up a pair of limited practices to begin the week with no activity Friday. Colt McCoy will stay ready for the start in case Murray isn't able to go this week, with final word on the latter's status set to come when Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

To be treated as game-time call Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that Murray (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Bears, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Murray seems on track to play after practicing again Friday, while DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is perhaps more of a question mark. That said, there's been no confirmation on either player one way or another, so both should be treated as game-time decisions unless there's something more definitive before inactive lists are released Sunday morning. The Cardinals have an early 1:00 ET kickoff this week, traveling to Chicago to face a Bears squad that has more than a few key injuries of its own.

Stays limited at practice Murray (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact While Murray has yet to log a full session this week, there's an expectation from the Cardinals that both he and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) will return to the fold Sunday at Chicago, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Murray will have one more chance Friday to make a positive impression on Cardinals coaches and trainers with the aim to avoid a designation for Week 13 action. If he does enter the weekend as questionable, though, his status won't be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

While Murray's presence at practice Wednesday bodes well for his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Bears, coach Kliff Kingsbury noted that the duo's Week 13 status will hinge on how things go for them the rest of the practice week.
