Kyler Murray returned to game action nearly 11 months after tearing his ACL in December 2023. He was announced to start for the Arizona Cardinals against the Atlanta Falcons on a Sunday game marking his return from the injury. As of 2025, Murray feels confident about his knee and believes he will be able to play more freely without being hampered by the injury lingering effects he experienced during the 2024 season. He states the knee is "as close as it's going to get" to being fully healthy, and he is optimistic about using his legs as a weapon again in 2025. The 2025 season is seen as a potential turnaround year for Murray and the Cardinals in terms of performance, with Murray open to running more and feeling much better physically.
Thus, Kyler Murray has already returned to the field in 2025 after his ACL recovery, and his current status is active and playing through the season.
