Quarterback Kyler Murray went down in a heap with what appeared to be a non-contact injury as he scrambled out of the pocket for a 3-yard gain just 77 seconds and three plays into the Cards' Week 14 matchup with the [New England Patriots](https://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/new-england-patriots/). [The No. 1 pick of the 2019 draft](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/draft/2019/04/25/nfl-draft-live-tracker-2019-pick-analysis-first-round/3567687002/) was in obvious pain before being carted off the field.

Despite the optics, the Cardinals initially characterized Murray's return as [questionable](https://twitter.com/AZCardinals/status/1602474990028394496) with a knee injury. Shortly thereafter, he was officially ruled out. ESPN sideline reporter Lisa Salters relayed that Murray was "sobbing" after reaching the bowels of State Farm Stadium.
