It has been a rough 24 hours for the Arizona Cardinals. After losing quarterback Kyler Murray to a season-ending ACL injury and losing to the New England Patriots, now general manager Steve Keim is taking an indefinite leave from the team due to health reasons.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Keim is leaving the team indefinitely due to a health-related issue. While many have speculated as to what the issue could be, it is unknown and will likely not be made available to the public.

Given it is likely a serious issue, that hasn't stopped NFL fans from taking shots at the franchise over it, with one fan saying that the Cardinals general manager saw Murray go down and decided to leave.

"My man saw Kyler get hurt and said "I'm finished.""

Other NFL fans were quick to jump in as well, with many giving their thoughts on why Keim has left indefinitely despite knowing it's health related.

While some have been making light of the situation, given it is health-related, we all hope that he recovers and is back with Arizona sooner rather than later. Given the state of their season and the recent Murray injury, the Cardinals can't catch a break in 2022.

Heading into the start of the season, Arizona was one of the teams many had picked to be a playoff team. Last year, Arizona finished second in the NFC West with a 11-6 record behind the 12-5 L.A. Rams.

After bowing out in the playoffs, many thought Arizona was thought to go one better in 2022.

Now, fast forward through 13 games, Arizona sits at 4-9 and, for all intents and purposes, is out of the playoff picture. The San Francisco 49ers lead the division (9-4) while the Seattle Seahawks (7-6) are ahead of Arizona.

Then we add in Kyler Murray's ACL injury and now Keim's health-related issue that has forced him to leave, it goes from bad to worse. Hopefully Arizona can finish off the season in decent form and carry that into the preseason.

Because season 2022/23 has been nothing short of a failure from the Arizona team, they haven't gotten any help from the injury gods.
