Cardinals rule out three key players for Week 8 matchup against Dolphins

## Cardinals Rule Out Three Key Players for Week 8 Matchup Against Dolphins PHOENIX — The Arizona Cardinals have ruled out three key players for their Week 8 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, the team announced Friday. The players ruled out are: * Quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) * Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) * Cornerback Byron Murphy (ankle) Murray missed last week's game against the New Orleans Saints with the same ankle injury. Hopkins has been dealing with a hamstring injury since Week 3, and Murphy suffered his ankle injury in the loss to the Saints. The Cardinals are now 3-4 on the season and will face a tough Dolphins team that is 4-3. The Dolphins are coming off a 21-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Murray out, Colt McCoy will get the start at quarterback for the Cardinals. McCoy has started two games for the Cardinals this season, going 1-1. He has completed 61.3% of his passes for 452 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Cardinals will also be without their top wide receiver in Hopkins. Hopkins has 34 catches for 427 yards and three touchdowns this season. His absence will be a big blow to the Cardinals' offense. The Cardinals will also be without their top cornerback in Murphy. Murphy has 33 tackles, one interception, and one forced fumble this season. His absence will be a big blow to the Cardinals' defense. The Cardinals will need to step up in a big way if they want to beat the Dolphins without Murray, Hopkins, and Murphy. McCoy will need to play well at quarterback, and the Cardinals' defense will need to step up and make some big plays.
