Who Should I Start? Andy Dalton or Kyler Murray

Carolina Panthers veteran quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) is active for the Week 9 contest against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday and will serve as the backup to Bryce Young, who is returning from a one-game absence due to an ankle sprain, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. The 38-year-old Dalton made his first start of the year in place of the injured Young last weekend and fell flat in the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills, going 16-for-24 passing for 175 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. The Red Rifle sustained a broken right thumb in the process, which limited him in practice this week. Dalton is apparently good to go as the backup this weekend, though, so third-stringer Mike White will be a healthy scratch.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to come off Injured Reserve in Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. "He's working hard to get healthy. That's what he's doing right now. He's in every meeting, and he's engaged. He's rehabbing a boatload of time in there," head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Monday. Murray has been sidelined since suffering a mid-foot sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. It was reported earlier this month that Murray will be the backup QB when he's ready to come off IR, as veteran Jacoby Brissett has given the Cardinals' passing offense a spark since Murray went down with an injury. Another disappointing and injury-plagued season for Murray has put his long-term future in doubt in Arizona.
