Returns from COVID list
Murray (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Murray landed on the COVID list last week but has since cleared the NFL protocols. He missed Sunday's win over Denver but should be back on the field for the Chargers in Week 18.

Lands on COVID list
Murray (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Murray is now in danger of missing Sunday's matchup with the Broncos while going through the health and safety protocols. Nick Niemann could be more involved as a reserve inside linebacker for the Chargers should Murray remain unavailable this weekend.

Set to return Sunday
Murray (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: The 2020 first-round pick hasn't played since injuring his ankle back in Week 3. Murray should immediately slide into one of the starting linebacker spots opposite Drue Tranquill, but perhaps more crucially the return of the second-year linebacker theoretically could improve a run defense that has been thoroughly decimated ever since Murray's injury. That concept will be put to the test Sunday against Dalvin Cook and a tough Minnesota offense.

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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.

Placed on IR
The Chargers placed Murray (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.

Picks up ankle injury Saturday
Murray (ankle) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Raiders, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: 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. Drue Tranquill and Nick Niemann are the most likely candidates to see increased snaps if Murray is forced to miss Monday's contest.

Finishes game despite injury
Murray finished Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys with seven tackles (five solo).
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Piles up 10 tackles
Murray posted 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington.
Analysis: 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.

Cleared for opener
Murray (ankle) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Cleared to practice
Murray (shoulder) has been cleared to practice, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: 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.

Undergoes shoulder surgery
Murray underwent successful surgery Tuesday to address a right shoulder injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Eight stops on TNF
Murray had eight tackles (six solo) during Thursday's 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders.
Analysis: 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.

Seven tackles Sunday
Murray recorded seven tackles (four solo) across 56 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Falcons.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Benched in loss
Murray recorded just four tackles in Sunday's loss to the Raiders before being benched for Denzel Perryman, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Murray had become the team's defensive signal-caller, playing 100 percent of the team's snaps in each of the last three games. However, coach Anthony Lynn evidently didn't like what we saw Sunday, removing the 2020 first-round pick for "communication issues." Considering the draft capital invested in Murray this past offseason, it's hard to imagine this benching is more than a one-week thing, but it's a disappointing setback regardless for the Oklahoma product after he seemed to be growing into…read more

Continues to rack up tackles
Murray recorded 10 tackles in the team's Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Murray tied for the team lead with 10 tackles, his second double-digit effort of his rookie season. He has yet to make much of an impact beyond that, however, with only a tackle for a loss and no sacks. Still, he's a stalwart in the middle of the Chargers defense, logging a 97 percent snap rate in Week 4.

Leads team in tackles
Murray posted 10 tackles (four solo) and a pass defended in the 23-20 overtime loss Sunday to the Chiefs.
Analysis: It's clear Murray has taken over the primary starting spot at inside linebacker, posting a second consecutive 60-plus-snap performance. As a result, the 2020 first-round pick now leads the team in tackles and should continue to be a quality source of production in IDP leagues given his consistent role.

Tallies eight tackles
Murray tallied eight tackles in Week 1 against the Bengals.
Analysis: Murray finished second on the team in tackles in his NFL debut. He didn't add any explosive plays, but his usage supports the notion he'll be a key member of the defense, considering he was on the field for 91 percent of defensive snaps.

Set for starting MLB
Murray is expected to be the starting middle linebacker entering 2020, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Murray's status as a 2020 first-round pick all but assured him of the role regardless, but a tremendous training camp has drawn a healthy amount of praise. Perhaps even more encouraging for IDP users, head coach Anthony Lynn and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley have suggested Murray will be a "three-down backer," which should provide plenty of tackle opportunities for the downhill thumper. With Denzel Perryman all but pushed aside from the starting lineup, it's entirely possible Murray could…read more
