As for when Gannon might make the decision on who will start, he left timing open to the imagination — although the team would need to activate Murray off the physically unable to perform list on Saturday if he is going to play.
“Probably on the plane, or in the morning,” Gannon said when asked when he might find an answer.
If Murray ends up sitting out, the job will go to rookie Clayton Tune, who impressed the Cardinals enough in the preseason to earn a place on the active roster as a backup. Gannon spoke of Tune’s accuracy and efficient operation of the offense during practice as reasons for why he feels good about the rookie if Arizona chooses to proceed with Tune.
Still, Cardinals fans have been waiting quite some time to see Murray back on the field in uniform. Sunday could be the moment they’ve all been anticipating.
