PLANT CITY, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Vipers quarterback Aaron Murray has been ruled out for Saturday’s game versus the Seattle Dragons.

As was the case all week, Murray was a spectator at practice Thursday while he rehabbed on the sideline.

Murray is nursing a lower-foot injury he sustained during the first half of Sunday’s New York Guardians matchup.

Toward the end of the half, Murray was being examined by the Vipers medical staff. When FOX sideline reporter Jenny Taft inquired what he was dealing with, Murray responded, “Oh, nothing. Just getting hit for the first time in a while. We’ll be good to go for the rest of the game.”

"Good to go" was an overstatement. Over the next 30 minutes, Murray would complete only seven passes, throw an interception and lose a fumble.

Week 2 Plan

Practice has looked a little different than it has since December with QB Taylor Cornelius getting the majority of the first-team reps and Quinton Flowers handling the remainder.

While Murray had a successful college career at Georgia, Cornelius was a one-year starter at Oklahoma State. He hasn’t had as much playing time as Murray; however, at 6-foot-6, Cornelius has a significant height advantage over the 6-foot-1 former SEC star, which should allow him to see the field better.

Head coach Marc Trestman remained tight-lipped on the QB situation. “We’ll make a decision at gametime. Who starts doesn’t really matter because they’re both going to be in the game,” he said
