Murphy (back) avoided a major injury in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Murphy exited Sunday's contest after it appeared like he aggravated his pre-existing back injury. The defensive lineman is expected to "be fine," according to head coach Mike Macdonald.

Murphy (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Murphy appears to have aggravated a back injury during Sunday's contest and will not return. Roy Robertson-Harris will serve as the Seahawks' top rotational defensive end for the rest of the game due to Murphy's injury.
Murphy (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams. Listed as questionable heading into the weekend after sandwiching a pair of limited practices around an absence Thursday, Murphy will get the green light to suit up in the final game of his rookie season. Over 13 appearances to date, the defensive lineman has recorded a half sack among his 36 tackles on the campaign.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
