Kyler Murray, Kliff Kingsbury worked on ‘tense’ relationship during 2-game absence
The Arizona Cardinals get quarterback Kyler Murray back in the lineup on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers after a two-game absence. He was out with a hamstring injury.
That time off was “a blessing in disguise,” sources tell NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
According to Rapoport, the relationship between Murray and Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury has been “tense.”
During the two weeks Murray was out, the two have been trying to get things right between them.
“Before he was injured, things got a little tense between him and Kliff Kingsbury,” Rapoport reported. “My understanding is that during that time away, during that break, the two sat down, hashed out some differences, worked on their communication and came up with a plan going forward to get on the same page down the stretch.”
There have been in-game confrontations between Kingsbury and Murray. Both have played it off as two passionate competitors trying to win.
With Murray back in the lineup, we will see how things go between the two.
Rather than an increased fracture between the two, the fact that they both worked on getting things right is a positive sign for the present and future.
