TRACE MCSORLEY NEWS

Mixed bag in Week 16 loss McSorley completed 24 of 45 passes for 217 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed seven times for 14 yards in the Cardinals' 19-16 overtime loss to the Buccaneers...

Impact McSorley's first NFL start wasn't disastrous by any stretch, but ball security was an issue for the fourth-year pro. McSorley's first lost fumble came midway through the first quarter at the Buccaneers' 30-yard line as a result of a sack, proving costly to the Cardinals even though it didn't lead to any Tampa Bay points. The second was even more consequential, as McSorley was charged with a turnover on an attempted fourth-quarter pitch to Keaontay Ingram that was recovered by the Bucs' William Gholston and led to a game-tying field goal. McSorley may be one and done as a starter, as Colt McCoy should have a good chance of clearing concussion protocol in time for a Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons.

DECEMBER 21, 2022 • NFL.COM

Starting Sunday night McSorley has been named Arizona's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Head coach Kliff Kingsbury made the announcement Wednesday after ruling out Colt McCoy, who suffered a concussion during Sunday's 24-15 loss to Denver in his first start since Kyler Murray suffered a season-ending ACL tear. McSorley completed seven of 15 passes for 95 yards and two interceptions in relief, and with that fresh in mind it's possible he could be benched for recently signed David Blough if he struggles again this Sunday. McSorley had only one carry for eight yards last week, but he offers potential for rushing stats given that he ran a 4.57-second 40-yard dash time coming out of Penn State in 2019. He accrued 30 rushing touchdowns during his time at college, and his dual-threat abilities were a key factor in the Ravens selecting him with a sixth-round pick in 2019 to serve as a backup to Lamar Jackson.

Enters in relief McSorley completed seven of 15 passes for 95 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Broncos. He added one rush for eight yards.

Impact McSorley entered the game three plays into the second half after Colt McCoy was forced to the sidelines due to a head injury. He completed a few long completions of 29 and 18 yards but still managed only 6.3 yards per attempt. To make matters worse, McSorley also threw two interceptions, the latter of which led directly to Denver's game-clinching touchdown. If McCoy can't clear concussion protocol in time for a Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers, McSorley will likely be called upon to start.

Clears injury report Thursday McSorely (illness) was not listed on the Cardinals' injury report Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Impact McSorley popped up with an illness during Arizona's final practice of Week 12 prep, leaving him inactive against the Chargers. However, he appears to have gotten over this ailment during the Cardinals' bye Week 13. As a result, McSorley should reprise his role as the team's third-string quarterback against New England on Monday Night Football.

Won't play Sunday McSorley (illness) is inactive Sunday against the Chargers.

Impact McSorley missed practice Friday due to the illness, and he's still apparently feeling under the weather. However, with Kyler Murray back under center and Colt McCoy still considered the team's No. 2 quarterback, McSorley's absence should not impact the team Week 12.

Dealing with illness McSorley did not practice Friday due to an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact McSorley was a full participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday before popping up on Friday's injury report. While the severity of this ailment is still unclear, the 27-year-old will have just one more day to overcome this issue before Sunday's contest. McSorley went 6-for-10 passing for 59 yards and an interception after stepping in for Colt McCoy during Monday's loss to San Francisco. However, both signal callers figure to fall back into their normal backup roles Week 12, as starting quarterback Kyler Murray is expected to return after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury.
