Kyler Murray Remains Cardinals Captain amid Injury: 'He's Our Franchise Quarterback'

The Arizona Cardinals named quarterback Kyler Murray, who is recovering from a torn ACL and will miss at least the first four games of the season on the injured list, as one of their team captains on Monday.

"He's our franchise quarterback," head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters. "And everything that I want our captains to be, he demonstrates it."

It is the fourth straight season that Murray was named a captain. Running back James Conner, left tackle D.J. Humphries, linebacker Kyzir White, safety Budda Baker and linebacker Dennis Gardeck were named the remaining captains.
