Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Making progress with ankle sprain

Murray, who didn't participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, said he's made progress with his medial left ankle sprain and anticipates playing Sunday versus the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Murray sustained the injury near the end of a Week 8 loss to the Packers and didn't practice at all last week before being inactive for the Cardinals' Week 9 win over San Francisco. When speaking to the media Monday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com that he didn't "have a feel for it yet" regarding Murray's potential to play during the upcoming weekend. Kingsbury and company likely will want to see Murray mix into practice Thursday or Friday to make the decision-making process a bit easier, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the quarterback doesn't necessarily have to do so to return to action Sunday. If Murray is held out again, though, Colt McCoy will serve as the Cards' starting quarterback.
