Fails to record any sacks in 2024 Murphy finished the 2024 season with 20 tackles (11 solo) and one pass breakup across 13 games with Cincinnati.
Impact Selected No. 28 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, Murphy has been a massive disappointment through two seasons with the Bengals. After recording 3.0 sacks in 17 appearances as a rookie, Murphy didn't claim a starting gig off the edge in his second season and failed to take down the quarterback a single time, accruing just four QB hits total across 353 defensive snaps. Murphy needs to take multiple steps forward in 2025. The Bengals are starved for pass rushers behind Trey Hendrickson, who led the NFL with 17.5 sacks, accounting for over 48 percent of Cincinnati's team total of 36 sacks. Hendrickson is now scheduled to hit free agency in March.

Officially off IR Murphy (knee) was activated off injured reserve Friday.
Impact The 2023 first-round pick missed the Bengals' first four games this season due to a knee injury, but following Friday's activation, he's got a chance to make his 2024 debut Sunday. Murphy is projected to serve as one of Cincinnati's top rotational edge rushers once he returns to the field.

Could return in Week 5 Murphy (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
Impact Murphy has practiced in full all week after being designated to return from Cincinnati's injured reserve list Wednesday, so he could be making his 2024 debut Sunday. However, if Murphy still needs more time to recover from his knee injury, expect Cedric Johnson to serve as the Bengals' top reserve left defensive end.

Designated to return from IR The Bengals designated Murphy (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Murphy opened the regular season on injured reserve after spraining his right knee during a joint practice with the Colts in training camp. The 2023 first-round pick has sat out for the four-game minimum, and he returned to practice Wednesday as a full participant, per Jay Morrison of BengalsTalk.com. Murphy appeared in all 17 regular-season games in his rookie year and finished with 20 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks. Once fully healthy, he's expected to serve as the primary backup at defensive end behind Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson (neck).

Practice window opening this week Head coach Zac Taylor told reporters Monday that the Bengals will open Murphy's (knee) 21-day practice window closer to Wednesday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Impact The 2023 first-round pick began the Bengals' season on injured reserve due to a knee injury, but it now appears he's almost past the issue. Once Murphy's practice window is opened, Cincinnati will have 21 days to activate him to its active roster, or he'll revert back to the team's IR. Once Murphy returns to the field, he's expected to serve as a rotational defensive end.

Opening season on IR Murphy (knee) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return by the Bengals on Tuesday.
Impact Murphy sprained his knee during the Bengals' joint practice with the Colts on Thursday. He'll miss the first four games of the regular-season, and he is eligible to return for Week 5 against Baltimore.
AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Diagnosed with knee sprain Murphy is expected to miss four-to-six weeks due to a knee injury he sustained during Wednesday's joint practice with the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The good news for Murphy and the Bengals is that his knee injury is not season ending. However, it likely means that the 2023 first-round pick will miss the beginning of the regular season. Murphy's absence opens the door for Cedric Johnson, Joseph Ossai and Justin Blazek to see more backup reps at defensive end behind starters Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard (knee).
