Who Should I Start? Case Keenum or Kyler Murray

Tuesday, August 26, 9:33 PM

Chicago Bears quarterback Case Keenum (leg) has made the 53-man roster and will open 2025 as the team's third-string signal-caller. Keenum has been dealing with a minor leg injury this month, but it won't be enough to keep him off the roster. The well-traveled 37-year-old joined the Bears in free agency in April after a second stint with the Houston Texans. He didn't play at all last year after suffering a foot injury and hasn't attempted 100-plus passes in a season since 2019, which he spent with Washington. With Caleb Williams entrenched as QB1 and Tyson Bagent locked into the No. 2 role, Keenum shouldn't see any meaningful action this season unless things go catastrophically wrong for the Bears.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Friday that quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will not return this year after recent tests on his injured foot showed that he is not progressing, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. When asked whether Murray will be the team's starting QB in 2026, Gannon said, "I'm focused on the Rams." The Cardinals are out of the playoff picture, and veteran QB Jacoby Brissett has played much better than Murray did before he sprained his foot back in Week 5. It's uncertain if Murray will need surgery on his injured foot, but either way, it's clear that the 28-year-old signal-caller's future in the desert is very tenuous. The former first overall pick back in 2019 out of Oklahoma is one of the most talented rushing QBs when healthy, but he hasn't progressed enough as a passer and will finish 2025 with 962 passing yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions in five games played. Murray added 173 rushing yards and a TD on 29 carries.
