The Arizona Cardinals want to keep franchise quarterback Kyler Murray healthy so he can potentially lead them into the playoffs season after returning from a devastating knee injury last season.

As a result, Murray will not play in any of the team’s preseason games, beginning with Saturday’s home game against the New Orleans Saints. Instead, Clayton Tune and Desmond Ridder, who started 13 games for the Falcons last season, will share the reps against New Orleans as they battle for the No. 2 job at quarterback behind Murray.
