Byron Murphy Latest News
Past hamstring issue
Murphy (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Murphy practiced in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury, but Friday's injury report suggests that he'll return for Seattle's Week 7 contest. The 2024 first-round pick had missed the Seahawks' last three games, but he recorded nine total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, across three games before injury. Expect Murphy to serve as a rotational interior defensive lineman Sunday.
Limited to open week
Murphy (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Murphy has missed the Seahawks' last three games due to a hamstring injury, though head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that he's optimistic the rookie first-rounder can return for Week 7 against the Falcons, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Murphy's practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chance of returning Sunday.
Returning for Week 7?
Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that he's optimistic Murphy (hamstring) will return for the Seahawks' Week 7 matchup against the Falcons, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Murphy has missed the Seahawks' last three games due to a hamstring injury picked up in Seattle's Week 3 win over the Dolphins. However, Macdonald's comments Friday suggest that the 2024 first-round pick is almost past the issue. Murphy's practice participation throughout next week will provide the best indication of whether he can return for Week 7.
Missing another week
Murphy (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. The 2024 first-round pick will now be sidelined for the third consecutive game after sustaining a hamstring injury during Seattle's Week 3 win over the Dolphins. Expect Mike Morris and Myles Adams to continue seeing additional reps as rotational defensive ends on the Seahawks' defense while Murphy recovers from his hamstring issue.
Won't play in Week 5
Murphy (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports. Murphy sustained a hamstring injury during the Seahawks' Week 3 win over the Dolphins and didn't practice all week, so it's no surprise that he'll miss Sunday's contest. With the 2024 first-round pick sidelined for another week, expect Mike Morris to serve as the Seahawks' top rotational defensive end.
Considered unavailable Wednesday
Murphy was estimated to be a non-participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Murphy missed the team's 42-29 loss to the Lions on Monday Night Football due to a hamstring injury that he suffered the week prior and he still appears to be working his way back from it to open this week. The defensive tackle will look to return to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Giants, though he seems to be unlikely to be able to go in Week 5. If he is forced to sit, Mike Morris is a candidate to see an increase in workload again versus New York.
Ruled out for Week 4
Murphy (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Lions, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Murphy has been held out of practice all week due to a hamstring injury he picked up during Seattle's Week 3 win over Miami. The rookie first-round pick's next chance at playing will be Week 5 against the Giants, though Murphy's hamstring injury is severe enough that he could be out for more than just one game, as reported by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com on Wednesday. With starting defensive end Leonard Williams (ribs) also not playing Monday, Mike Morris is the top candidate to start opposite Jarran Reed while Myles Adams provides rotational depth.
Expected to miss Week 4
Murphy (hamstring) appears to be trending towards missing Monday's contest versus the Lions, Corbin Smith of SI.com reports. Murphy sustained a hamstring injury versus the Dolphins in Week 3 and he was considered to be a non-participant on Friday's estimated injury report following the team's walkthrough. The rookie is expected to "miss some time" according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, leaving his status for the next few weeks up in the air.
Won't return Sunday
Murphy (hamstring) will not return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The Seahawks lost both Murphy and Leonard Williams (ribs) to injures versus Miami, and neither player will return. It's a huge blow to Seattle's defensive line depth. With Myles Adams inactive, the Seahawks are left with Jarran Reed, Johnathan Hankins and Mike Morris on the defensive line for the rest of Sunday's contest.
