FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Reduced role Murray finished the 2022-23 season with 76 tackles (50 solo), one sack, six additional tackles for loss, a forced fumble and an interception across 17 games.
Impact Murray saw a smaller role this season as he was outplayed by both Drue Tranquill and Kyle Van Noy. Despite the reduced playing time, the one-time first-round pick finished third on the team in tackles and recorded the first interception and forced fumble of his career. However, Murray once struggled mightily in pass coverage, allowing a quarterback rating of 110.5 when targeted according to Pro Football Focus. While the 24-year-old has yet to live up to his expectations, he continues to be a solid defender, especially in the run game.

Expected to practice Murray (neck) is expected to practice before Saturday's wild-card round game in Jacksonville, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Murray suffered a stinger in the regular-season finale against the Broncos. While he's likely to practice during the week, it will be worth tracking whether the linebacker has any limitations in practice as the Chargers prepare to begin their postseason on the road.

Picks up stinger Murray suffered a stinger during Sunday's game in Denver.
Impact Murray paid a visit to the sideline medical tent in the first half before being diagnosed with an injury in the third quarter. If he's unable to return, he'll end Week 18 with two tackles. As long as Murray is sidelined, Drue Tranquill and Kyle Van Noy will continue to man inside linebacker for the Chargers.

Logs first sack of the year Murray recorded six tackles (five solo) and one sack in Monday's 20-3 win over the Colts.
Impact Monday's victory over Indianapolis served as Murray's third game in a row with at least six stops, while he was also able to register his first sack since Week 13 of 2020. The 24-year-old figures to continue operating as a solid complementary linebacker come New Year's Day versus the Rams.

Leading tackler Week 14 Murray tallied seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 23-17 win versus Miami.
Impact Murray tied his season high for tackles while also seeing his largest percentage of defensive snaps played (96) against the Dolphins. The third-year linebacker's production and usage have both improved following his career-worst 2021 campaign, as he's logged 58 tackles, two passes defended and an interception on 551 defensive snaps over 13 games. However, Murray should continue to slot in alongside Kyle Van Noy while Drue Tranquill leads the Bolts' off-ball linebackers in playing time this season.

Logs full practice Wednesday Murray (neck) was able to participate fully in practice Wednesday.
Impact Murray was injured in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to Kansas City and ended up logging a season-low 45 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps. Head coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Murray was dealing with a neck stinger, but the issue doesn't appear to be major considering his ability to practice in full Wednesday.

Dealing with stinger in neck Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Murray has a stinger in his neck, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Staley also said Murray is doing better Monday after being forced out of the Chargers' loss versus Kansas City on Sunday night early, which suggests he may not need to miss any additional game time. If the 2020 first-rounder does miss time though, Kyle Van Noy would probably be in line for increased work.
