Murphy-Bunting (hand) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. The 27-year-old was a limited practice participant throughout the week after sustaining a hand injury in the Cardinals' Week 15 win over the Patriots. If Murphy-Bunting is unable to play through the issue in Week 16, expect Max Melton and Kei'Trel Clark to see additional snaps with Arizona's first-team secondary.
Murphy-Bunting (hand) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Murphy-Bunting appears to have sustained a hand injury in the Cardinals' Week 15 win over the Patriots, despite playing 45 defensive snaps and recording two total tackles and one interception. The 27-year-old cornerback's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. If he's unable to do so, expect Kei'Trel Clark to see increased work with the Cardinals' first-team defense.
Murphy-Bunting recorded two tackles (one solo) and one interception in Arizona's win over New England on Sunday. Murphy-Bunting picked off Drake Maye at the end of the third quarter, which helped set up a James Conner touchdown run on the ensuing possession. On the season, Murphy-Bunting has 42 tackles (22 solo), including two TFLs, four pass breakups, including two interceptions, and a pair of forced fumbles across 13 games.
Murphy-Bunting (neck) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports. Murphy-Bunting has been sidelined for the Cardinals' last two regular-season games due to a neck injury. His ability to practice without limitations Wednesday indicates that he is trending towards playing against the Jets on Sunday. Murphy-Bunting has logged 24 tackles (12 solo), two pass breakups and one interception over seven regular-season games.
Murphy-Bunting (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears. Murphy-Bunting was a late downgrade to questionable after he was initially not given an injury designation at the end of the practice week Friday. Starling Thomas, Max Melton and Kei'Trel Clark figure to see most of the cornerback reps on the outside while Garrett Williams handles slot work.
The Cardinals are listing Murphy-Bunting (neck) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Murphy-Bunting had appeared on the Cardinals' Week 9 injury report due to the neck issue, but he initially didn't carry a designation into Sunday after putting in a full practice Friday. The cornerback may not have responded well to the full workout, however, prompting the Cardinals to downgrade him Sunday. Official word on the cornerback's status will arrive when Arizona releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.
Murphy-Bunting (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports. Murphy-Bunting missed the Cardinals' Week 8 win over the Dolphins after sustaining a neck injury the week prior, but Wednesday's full practice suggests he's moved past the issue. Now that the first-year Cardinal has returned from injury, he's expected to start opposite Starling Thomas as part of Arizona's top outside cornerback duo.
Murphy-Bunting (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. Murphy-Bunting sustained a neck injury in the Cardinals' Week 7 win over the Chargers and wasn't able to practice Thursday, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. Expect Kei'Trel Clark to see additional reps as one of Arizona's top outside cornerbacks in Murphy-Bunting's stead.
Murphy-Bunting (neck) was considered to be a non-participant at the Cardinals' walkthrough Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Murphy-Bunting has been dealing with a neck injury for the past two weeks and he's still nursing it to open Week 8. The cornerback will have two more chances to practice this week ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.
