Cardinals’ Kyler Murray faces Patriots for first time since his ACL injury against them two years ago

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kyler Murray was driving to the Arizona Cardinals’ practice facility Wednesday when he realized that it had been almost exactly two years since he tore the ACL in his right knee in a game against the New England Patriots.

Then another thought crossed his mind: It was the Patriots who were coming to town this Sunday for the first time since the injury.

“Yeah, it’s a little weird,” Murray said with a wry grin. “I will try not to have that happen again.”

The injury on Dec. 12, 2022, cost Murray roughly 11 months of his career, but he has been healthy this season.
