Fans of the Cardinals will have to wait at least one more week before they see Kyler Murray back in action.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cardinals will start Clayton Tune at quarterback this Sunday against the Browns.
The Cardinals tipped their hand with Friday’s practice session.
“In the portion of #AZCardinals practice open to the media, Kyler Murray threw to receivers lower on the depth chart or practice squad players while Clayton Tune & Jeff Driskel threw to the starters,” Omar Ruiz of NFL Network wrote.
Tune, a fifth-round pick out of Houston, told reporters he’s excited to show what he can do.
“It’s exciting to have this opportunity,” Tune said, via ESPN. “I feel like I’ve been preparing the same way I have been all season.”

The Cardinals are 1-7 heading into this weekend’s game. At this rate, they’ll be in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes.
That being said, anything can happen in the NFL. If Tune plays well, the Cardinals could very well upset the Browns this Sunday.
