Kenneth Murray Jr. - Page 6 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Questionable to return Murray is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Kansas City due to a neck injury.

Impact Murray didn't record any counting stats prior to exiting Sunday's matchup in the third quarter. If he's unable to return, Nick Niemann is a candidate to see increased playing time.

Returns to game Murray (head) has returned to Sunday's game against San Francisco, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murray was evaluated for a head injury in the first half of Sunday's game but returned to the field shortly before halftime. His presence among the Chargers' linebackers will be particularly impactful since Chris Rumph (knee) is inactive.

Being evaluated for head injury Murray is being evaluated for a head injury after exiting Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Impact Murray left Sunday's matchup in the first half and went to the locker room afterward. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, he'll be unable to return to the game. Troy Reeder entered the game as a replacement and should see increased playing time if Murray is unable to return.

Returning to practice field Murray (ankle) returned to practice Monday.

Impact Murray suffered an ankle injury late last season that required surgery to address in April, but he's now ready to go again just 20 days out from the Chargers' regular-season opener versus Las Vegas. He notched triple-digit tackles the last full season he played (which was also his age-21 campaign), so he's a decent candidate to produce as a fringe IDP option at linebacker in 2022.

Out for another few weeks Coach Brandon Staley said Wednesday that Murray (ankle) should "be practicing at some point in the next four to six weeks," Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Murray missed five weeks last season with an ankle injury, so the Chargers will likely play things safe with the talented young linebacker as he rehabs from the procedure he underwent to address that back in April. The 2020 first-round pick posted 107 tackles his rookie year, so he could register fantasy-relevant tackle production in 2022 assuming he's ready to play by Week 1.

Placed on PUP list Murray (ankle) was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Murray had ankle surgery in April and has been absent from the Chargers' offseason activities. The team was hopeful he would be ready for camp, but his return will have to wait for now. Murray was limited to 11 games last season due to the injury, and struggled to be as effective as he was in his rookie campaign. Once healthy, Murray will be working to bounce back and leave his disappointing second season in the rearview.

Possibility for camp Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said the hope is Murray (ankle) will be ready for training camp, Gavino Borquez of the team's official site reports.

Impact Murray missed the Chargers' offseason program after undergoing surgery in early April. The 2020 first-round pick dealt with the ankle issue last season, which significantly impacted his output. However, there's optimism that Murray will be fully participating in training camp, so he could be in store for a bounce-back campaign in his third NFL season.

Absent from OTAs Murray (ankle) wasn't on the field at OTAs on Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murray's absence isn't a surprise after undergoing ankle surgery in early April. He dealt with a bad ankle for the majority of last season, which significantly limited his output compared to his rookie campaign in 2020. Murray isn't expected to take part in OTAs, while his status for training camp still is unknown.

Impact Murray dealt with an ankle issue last preseason and later spent six weeks on injured reserve due to another ankle issue, but he opted to avoid surgery initially. However, after experiencing discomfort trying to ramp up his offseason activities, the 2020 first-round pick underwent a procedure on his left ankle at the beginning of April to address the lingering issues. After registering 107 stops during his rookie campaign, Murray posted just 31 tackles across 11 appearances last year. A healthy Murray could be a difference maker for the Chargers defense, which struggled mightily against the run in 2021.

Recovering from ankle surgery Murray underwent a procedure on his left ankle Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murray dealt with an ankle issue last preseason and spent later spent six weeks on injured reserve due to another ankle concern. In a post on social media Friday, he explained that he sustained the second injury in practice two days before a Week 4 matchup with the Raiders. The 2020 first-round pick ended up recording 31 tackles in 11 appearances during the 2021 season after opening his career with 107 stops as a rookie. Following his second campaign, the Chargers' medical team recommended that he stay off the ankle for 8-to-10 weeks, but while ramping up his activity recently it still was bothersome, and surgery was ordered up. Considering the timing, Murray likely will be healthy by the time training camp opens in late July.

Set to return Sunday Murray (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact The 2020 first-round pick hasn't played since injuring his ankle back in Week 3. Murray should immediately slide into one of the starting linebacker spots opposite Drue Tranquill, but perhaps more crucially the return of the second-year linebacker theoretically could improve a run defense that has been thoroughly decimated ever since Murray's injury. That concept will be put to the test Sunday against Dalvin Cook and a tough Minnesota offense.
