By james art GLENDALE — Arizona Cardinals CB Sean Murphy-Bunting will miss the remainder of Week 7 on Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers with a neck injury.
Murphy-Bunting was listed on Arizona’s injury report with a neck injury after leaving the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers. He was questionable but was activated by Arizona.
Murphy-Bunting left first-half action this week and went straight to the medical blue tent. After spending some time there with trainers, he went to the locker room on his own and ultimately did not return.
With Murphy-Bunting out, the Cardinals’ cornerback rotation is Max Melton, Garrett Williams and Starling Thomas. Typical Contributor Kei’Trel Clark was made inactive as a pre-game health scratch.
Arizona signed Murphy-Bunting this offseason to a three-year, $25.5 million contract to start for the Cardinals. Murphy-Bunting struggled last year with the Tennessee Titans, but was soon removed to help the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during their recent Super Bowl run.
Murphy-Bunting has started all six games for the Cardinals entering tonight and has one interception on the season. He has allowed a completion percentage of 72.7% (16 completions on 22 targets) during the first stage of the season.
