Cardinals QB Murray out for season with torn ACL

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed the extent of the injury during his Tuesday news conference. The news is not a surprise after the 25-year-old injured his knee on the third play of Monday night’s 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots. Murray was flushed out of the pocket and running to his right when he tried to juke past a Patriots defender, but tumbled to the grass in obvious pain.

■ Rams: Receiver Cooper Kupp is likely to miss the rest of the season with his sprained right ankle. Coach Sean Mcvay left open the slightest possibility the 2021 AP Offensive

Player of the Year could return, but says it will almost certainly take too long for Kupp to get back into form before the season ends.

■ Steelers: Quarterback Kenny Pickett’s status for Pittsburgh’s visit to Carolina is uncertain after entering the concussion protocol for the second time in two months. Pickett was injured late in the first quarter of a loss to Baltimore. Coach Mike Tomlin says Pickett’s availability will depend on whether he will be cleared to practice during the week.

■ Bills: Receiver Cole Beasley, 33, ended a brief retirement to take one more shot at extending his career by reuniting with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Beasley was signed to Buffalo’s practice squad, rejoining the team that cut him in March for salarycap reasons.

■ Browns: Linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-koramoah will miss the final four games of the season after sustaining a left foot injury late in Sunday’s loss to Cincinnati. Owusukoramoah was placed on injured reserve by the Browns.

■ Falcons: Atlanta released running back Damien Williams, the veteran who was slowed by an early season rib injury.
