Murray (hand) is not listed on Houston's injury report and practiced in full Wednesday. Murray injured his hand Week 13 versus Jacksonville, but now following the Texans' bye, he's back to full health. The veteran safety will be available to handle his usual key role on defense during Sunday's home matchup against the Dolphins. Murray is averaging just 3.8 total tackles per game though, with only one interception and 1.0 sacks on the season, so he can safely be left off the fantasy radar in most IDP formats.

Murray (hand) is not listed on Houston's injury report and practiced in full Wednesday. Murray injured his hand Week 13 versus Jacksonville, but now following the Texans' bye, he's back to full health. The veteran safety will be available to handle his usual key role on defense during Sunday's home matchup against the Dolphins. Murray is averaging just 3.8 total tackles per game though, with only one interception and 1.0 sacks on the season, so he can safely be left off the fantasy radar in most IDP formats.
Murray suffered a hand injury in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars. Murray picked up a hand injury in the second half versus Jacksonville, finishing his day with eight total tackles (three solo). The safety will have the advantage of the team's upcoming bye week in order to be ready to go for Houston's matchup with the Dolphins on Dec. 15.
Murray will start at safety again for the Texans on Sunday against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Murray is no stranger to the role due to injuries suffered in the Texans' secondary, most notably to Jimmie Ward (groin). The Minnesota product has played at least 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each of their last four games and hit the 100 percent mark twice. Murray has accumulated 16 combined tackles, including 1.0 sacks and an interception during that time.
Murray (knee) and the Texans finalized a one-year contract Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Murray appeared in six games with the Texans in 2023 before suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 6 versus the Saints, compiling 13 tackles and a forced fumble in those contests. The safety has spent the last four campaigns with Houston, and he'll now be back for a fifth in 2024, competing with the likes of DeAndre Houston-Carson and others for a top reserve spot in the Texans' secondary.
