Lastly, the Cardinals quarterback commented on how he is adjusting to the new offense under Drew Petzing, who was brought to Arizona during the offseason.
Since Murray has not been able to get reps at practice, there has been considerable concern that he will not be able to pick up the new plays in time.
Kyler gave reassurance that this was not the case.
“I don’t feel behind at all.”
