Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is uncertain for his team's crucial Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams due to a lower leg injury, head coach Kliff Kingsbury announced Monday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Rams quarterback Jared Goff is also in danger of missing the regular-season finale after breaking his thumb on his throwing hand.

The 9-6 Rams, 8-7 Cardinals, and 8-7 Chicago Bears are fighting for the remaining two wild-card spots.

Chicago will earn its way into the playoffs if they beat the Green Bay Packers next Sunday. If the Bears are victorious, then the Cardinals-Rams game winner will also make the postseason. If Chicago loses and Arizona wins, then both the Rams and Cardinals will head to the playoffs.

Arizona's backup quarterback is Chris Streveler, while Los Angeles has John Wolford.

Murray, the 2019 No. 1 overall pick, has put together a strong sophomore campaign. He's thrown for 3,884 yards and 26 touchdowns against 12 interceptions, adding 816 yards and 11 scores on the ground.
