Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray left the field limping following Thursday night\u2019s 24-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. While this is obviously scary for Cardinal fans, the latest NFL rumors suggest that the quarterback will be fine in the long run. In other news, Patrick Mahomes talked about Kansas City\u2019s slow start, while Dak Prescott might miss Sunday\u2019s game against the Minnesota Vikings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NFL Rumors: Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray suffered an ankle injury late in Thursday night\u2019s contest. While he played through the injury, he clearly wasn\u2019t feeling great as he left the field. However, while speaking to reporters, the former first-overall pick said that this isn\u2019t a serious injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I\u2019m good. Guy rolled up on me, but other than that it\u2019s just unfortunate to lose like that,\u201d Murray said. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury also didn\u2019t seem concerned, saying that he \u201cassumed\u201d Murray would be ok moving forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Murray had a relatively underwhelming performance on Thursday night, but he has still been one of the best quarterbacks in football. Assuming this ankle injury doesn\u2019t limit him moving forward, Murray should be in the MVP conversation throughout the remainder of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes: I Have to Be Better<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Nobody expected the Kansas City Chiefs to be 3-4 entering Week 8\u2019s action. After making it to the Super Bowl for the second consecutive year, the team completely revamped the offensive line<\/a> in pursuit of another title. However, an abysmal defensive performance combined with some relatively underwhelming play from Patrick Mahomes has led to this surprising record.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to <\/span>Adam Teicher of ESPN<\/span><\/a>, the former league MVP took the blame for Kansas City\u2019s slow start. \u201cIt\u2019s just stuff that I\u2019ve always got to work on…it\u2019s hanging in the pocket, working on my footwork, staying on time, all that stuff like that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In short, Mahomes is looking to make life easier on himself moving forward. The quarterback is capable of making incredible plays, but he does tend to look over the easy option while trying to play hero ball. This strategy usually works, but it can lead to someIf he cuts these out of his game, then Kansas City\u2019s offense should go back to being the unstoppable force we\u2019re used to seeing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes says he has to battle "not getting bored" taking the short plays the defense is giving him. Pat likes to throw it down the field<\/p>\n
