A day after Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had surgery to repair his torn right ACL, coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday the quarterback "probably" won't be back for the start of the 2023 season, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Kingsbury brought up Murray's status for next season when discussing why Arizona shut down back-up quarterback Colt McCoy, who missed the last two games and will miss Sunday's season finale in San Francisco because of a concussion.

"It was tough," Kingsbury said about ending McCoy's season. "He wanted to play and it's just in our situation with ... probably not having Kyler start the year, it's the right thing to do."

Kingsbury said he texted with Murray on Tuesday and added the surgery "went well." Murray posted a photo on social media of him in a hospital bed after his surgery with a caption that said the operation was "successful."
