INJURIES

Returns to practice Wednesday Murray (ankle) was able to practice for the Chargers on Wednesday and has been designated to return from injured reserve, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Murray is now eligible to get activated to the Chargers' active roster sometime within the next three weeks. Once activated, Drue Tranquill and Nick Niemann will likely see fewer opportunities. Expect the Chargers to stick with Tranquill starting at left inside linebacker until Murray is fully healthy.

Not close to return Coach Brandon Staley said Murray (ankle) isn't expected to return this week against New England, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Murray is eligible to return from injured reserve this week, but he's expected to miss some additional time. Drue Tranquill (chest) sat out the loss to the Ravens before the Chargers' Week 7 bye and is likely to reclaim the starting role Sunday against the Patriots.
OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on IR The Chargers placed Murray (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.
Impact Murray had to be carted off the field during Saturday's practice and was quickly ruled out for Monday's contest against the Raiders. The 22-year-old linebacker has totaled 19 tackles and one fumble recovery through the first three weeks of the season. In his absence, Drue Tranquill and Nick Niemann are the most likely candidates for increased snaps.

Ruled out Monday Murray (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raiders.
Impact Murray had to be carted off the field during Saturday's practice, and his ankle injury will prevent him from suiting up in Week 4. Nick Niemann and Drue Tranquill will likely see additional playing time while the 22-year-old is sidelined.
OCTOBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Daniel Popper of The Athletic reported that Murray needed to be carted off the field during Saturday's practice. The 22-year-old linebacker has totaled 19 tackles and one fumble recovery through the first three weeks of the season.

Finishes game despite injury Murray finished Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys with seven tackles (five solo).
Impact Murray briefly left the game with an ankle injury but managed to return and compile seven tackles. The 2020 first-round pick hasn't been a major playmaker since coming out of college, but Murray has solidified the middle linebacker position that has routinely been an area of issue for the Chargers in recent seasons.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to Sunday's contest Murray (ankle) was listed as questionable, but he has returned to action, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact The Chargers received good news as the 2020 first-round pick quickly returned to action. The 22-year-old registered nine tackles in the season opener and will likely continue that pace as long as he stays healthy this season.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Picks up ankle injury Murray is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys because of an ankle injury, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Murray racked up 10 tackles in the opener, so it could be a big loss for Los Angeles if he can't return. Nick Niemann gets a chance to step up in the meantime.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Piles up 10 tackles Murray posted 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington.
Impact Murray hit double-digit tackles three times as a rookie. The 22-year-old linebacker is an every-down player. He produced 107 stops, three pass breakups and a sack over 16 games last year.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared for opener Murray (ankle) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Heading into his second NFL season, Murray will start at inside linebacker once again. As a rookie, the Oklahoma product produced 107 tackles (68 solo), three pass breakups and a sack across 16 games.

Managing ankle issue Murray exited Sunday's practice due to an ankle injury, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact The Chargers held a scrimmage Sunday, but Murray went down within the first few plays after he made a tackle. However, coach Brandon Staley said after the practice that the 2020 first-rounder likely would have been able to return in a real game, so he should be considered day-to-day.
AUGUST 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
More tackle opportunities on tap Murray is expected to play more "downhill" in coach Brandon Staley's defensive scheme, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 2020 first-round pick registered 107 tackles and played in all 16 games during his rookie season, but it was almost viewed as a "down" campaign given the lofty expectations placed on Murray. Staley's new scheme is expected to feature the Oklahoma product heavily, asking Murray to blitz and attack the gaps far more frequently than last season, when Gus Bradley's defensive approach saw the rookie drop back in coverage far more than he was comfortable doing. That could translate to monster IDP numbers, particularly with backup linebacker Denzel Perryman now in Carolina.

Kenneth Murray Jr. loves downhill battle in Chargers' new defensive scheme Second-year linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. thinks his skills fit better in Chargers' new defensive scheme, which encourages attack mode.

Cleared to practice Murray (shoulder) has been cleared to practice, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Murray underwent shoulder surgery shortly after the conclusion of the 2020 season but has made a full recovery and has been participating in OTAs with the team. The second-year linebacker, who recorded 107 tackles including one sack over 16 games as a rookie, says he feels 100 percent.
JUNE 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Undergoes shoulder surgery Murray underwent successful surgery Tuesday to address a right shoulder injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Murray didn't appear on the Chargers' injury report at any point during his rookie season, so news of the surgery comes as a surprise. The first-round pick was productive while playing the full 16-game slate for Los Angeles, recording 107 tackles and a sack. The Chargers haven't provided a recovery timeline for Murray, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to go for training camp, if not OTAs.
JANUARY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Over 100 tackles in rookie debut Murray registered three tackles (one solo) in the Chargers' Week 17 win over the Chiefs. He recorded 107 tackles, three passes defended and one sack across 16 games.
Impact It's fair to say the Chargers likely expected more out of Murray after trading a second and third-round pick to move back into the first-round and select the Oklahoma product with the 23rd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but the 22-year-old did solidify one of the team's two inside linebacker spots, rarely needing to come off the field. Murray's trademark playmaking instincts should start to emerge with a full year under his belt, but he'll need to be more aggressive attacking the line of scrimmage to aid a defense that was largely disappointing against the run.

Eight stops on TNF Murray had eight tackles (six solo) during Thursday's 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders.
Impact The rookie first-round pick has had at least five tackles in five straight games, and he leads the Chargers with 95 total stops. Murray will get a few extra days of rest before facing the Broncos on Dec. 27.
DECEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Seven tackles Sunday Murray recorded seven tackles (four solo) across 56 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Falcons.
Impact Murray continues to have a stellar rookie season, leading the Chargers with 88 tackles (54 solo) on the year. The linebacker will now have to shift his focus quickly with Thursday's matchup against the Raiders looming.
DECEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Career game in blowout loss Murray recorded a career-high 14 tackles (12 solo), a sack and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 45-0 loss to New England.
Impact Murray's career-best outing was perhaps the only bright spot for the Chargers in what was otherwise a dreadful performance in all phases of the game. The rookie first-round pick set a new career high for tackles in a game while also picking up his first sack.
