Texans sign Kenneth Murray to practice squad

Kenneth Murray

HOU Middle Linebacker #59

Player Stats

Texans signed LB Kenneth Murray to their practice squad.

Murray is a former first-round pick of the Chargers, spending four seasons in Los Angeles before splitting the last two seasons with the Titans and Cowboys. He has started 83-of-90 career games and brings experience to the middle of a Texans defense that just placed Henry To’o To’o on injured reserve. Murray will start out on the practice squad but it would not be a surprise to see him get some regular season snaps soon.

Kenneth Murray

DAL Linebacker #56

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cowboys acquired LB Kenneth Murray from the Titans.

The “compensation” is apparently a late-round pick swap, suggesting the 26-year-old would have been released otherwise. The 2020 first-round bust of the Chargers wasn’t much better for the Titans last year, but he managed to take the field for more than 800 snaps. The Titans, of course, earned the No. 1 overall pick as the worst team in the league. Murray hasn’t looked like a starting-caliber player through what has now been a half decade in the NFL. It’s hard to believe that will change in Dallas. He is currently in the midst of a lengthy rehabilitation from wrist surgery.
Kenneth Murray

TEN Linebacker #56

Titans LB Kenneth Murray (wrist) will undergo surgery and will need 4-6 months of recovery time.

It puts his training camp status in jeopardy. Murray is under contract for 2025, but his cap number of $10 million may be untenable and the Titans could save $7.5 million against the cap by releasing him. Murray was inactive for the last two games of the season after trying to play through the injury in Weeks 15 and 16. He finished the year with 3.5 sacks, 95 combined tackles, and two passes defensed.
Roger McCreary

TEN Defensive Back #21

Titans declared WR Jha’Quan Jackson, LB Kenneth Murray, CB Roger McCreary, LB Jerome Baker, RB Joshua Kelley, CB Gabe Jeudy-Lally, and OL Leroy Watson inactive for Week 14 against the Jaguars.

The Titans’ inactives list contains multiple injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Though CB Chidobie Awuzie (groin) is returning and DT T’Vondre Sweat (shoulder) is active, CB Roger McCreary is out with a shoulder injury. Linebackers Kenneth Murray (hamstring) and Jerome Baker (neck) are also out for Week 14 against the Jaguars.
T'Vondre Sweat

TEN Nose Tackle #93

Titans DT T’Vondre Sweat (shoulder) is questionable for Week 14 against the Jaguars.

Sweat didn’t practice at all this week, but the questionable tag gives him a shot at getting in some reps over the weekend before suiting up on Sunday. Linebacker Kenneth Murray is also questionable after missing all three sessions. Titans reporter Paul Kuharsky noted that Murray told reporters the plan is for him to play. Kuharsky added that he expects Sweat to be a go as well. The two have combined for 4.5 sacks and 19 TFLs this year.
Kenneth Murray

TEN Linebacker #9

Titans agreed to terms with LB Kenneth Murray, formerly of the Chargers, on a two-year, $15.5 million contract.

Another first-round Chargers bust, Murray had his fifth-year team option declined last spring before going on to have a shaky 2023, albeit one where he played every snap. Headed into his age-26 campaign, Murray can at least absorb snaps for a Titans defense undergoing a ton of transition this offseason. Murray could have trouble remaining a three-down player if he doesn’t soon improve against the run.
Kenneth Murray

HOU Middle Linebacker #50

Chargers declined to exercise LB Kenneth Murray’s fifth-year option.

An ankle that required offseason surgery sapped Murray’s 2021 season and he didn’t start playing better until down the stretch in 2022. It was an easy option to decline for the Chargers. Murray could still re-establish himself as a potential starter somewhere with a better 2023 season.
Kenneth Murray

HOU Middle Linebacker #50

The Athletic’s Daniel Popper writes it is “unlikely” the Chargers will exercise Kenneth Murray’s fifth-year option.

Murray has been brutal in his first three seasons, but did look a little better late in the season as he got further away from an offseason ankle injury. It makes sense that the Chargers wouldn’t guarantee him future money at this point. Sports Info Solutions charted him with 20 missed tackles last season -- that number probably needs to go into the lower double-digits if he wants to make a case to get a real contract in free agency following next season.
Kenneth Murray

HOU Middle Linebacker #50

Chargers LB Kenneth Murray (ankle) returned to practice Monday.

Murray began training camp on the PUP list, so he has been watching from the sidelines thus far. Murray’s return means he will be activated from the PUP list once transactions are made official. Though this is a good sign for his health, it’s no guarantee that he will be ready for Week 1. Murray missed over a month of the 2021 season because of an ankle injury. He would eventually go under the knife in the offseason to fix the issue for good. Murray totaled 31 combined tackles and a pair of TFLs in his 11 appearances last year.
Kenneth Murray

HOU Middle Linebacker #50

Chargers placed LB Kenneth Murray (ankle) on the PUP/active list.

Murray had ankle surgery early in the offseason and did absolutely nothing in OTAs or minicamp. He’s likely truly questionable for Week 1 at this point. Troy Reeder and Drue Tranquill could be the starting tandem if Murray isn’t able to get cleared before the season. Murray is coming off a disappointing 2021 season and really could have used an impressive training camp to get into Brandon Staley’s good graces.
Kenneth Murray

HOU Middle Linebacker #50

Chargers GM Tom Telesco said that LB Kenneth Murray will “probably miss most of OTAs.”

It sounds like Murray will be questionable for training camp after undergoing ankle surgery. He may be a candidate for the PUP list. Through his first two NFL seasons, Murray has struggled badly. In his defense, he was asked to play as an EDGE player at times last year, but this is beginning to look like a first-round bust. Murray’s PFF run defense grade fell to 43.3 in 2021.

Kaytron Allen (hip) is not on Washington’s final Week 3 injury report.

Allen will be available for third-string running back duties against the Seahawks, and considering the likelihood the Commanders are blown out, stands some chance at scoring about 1-3 fantasy points.

Marvin Mims (foot) is questionable for Denver’s Week 3 game against the Rams.

Mims re-aggravated his preseason foot injury in Week 1 and did not play in Week 2. He was able to get three limited sessions in ahead of Week 3, but has no fantasy value at this point in Denver’s deep wideout room. He’d provide considerable real-life value as a punt returner.

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (chest) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 3 against the Commanders.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Price’s injury responded well to treatment this week. The rookie running back got “a ton of reps” in practices and is reportedly ready to be “full go” against the Commanders on Sunday. Price is a low-end RB2/FLEX for the occasion, after splitting carries with RB Emanuel Wilson and ceding passing down reps to RB George Holani (knee) in Week 2.

He’ll hold the receiving end of Denver’s RB tandem in Week 3 against the Broncos, giving him fringe RB2 status against a tough defense. We’d probably rather start Harvey than committee mate J.K. Dobbins this week with Jonah Coleman (ankle) out.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 3 against the Commanders.

Darnold upgraded to full participation yesterday, so today’s news tracks. In an interview on the Rich Eisen Show earlier today, Seahawks WR Smith-Njigba basically let slip that Darnold would be back, but Eisen let him out of the situation with only a soft follow-up. Darnold can be started as a borderline QB1/2 against a fantasy-friendly Commanders defense in Week 3.

Jets WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) is questionable to play in Week 3 against the Lions.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Mitchell got his finger caught in a jersey on Thursday, but he shared no further details. ESPN’s Rich Cimini reported that there is “some concern” regarding the injury, and Mitchell was seen practicing with some sort of all-encompassing wrap around his hand, index finger and middle finger. The speedy wide receiver is firmly in the questionable camp. If active, he must be viewed as a boom-bust WR3/FLEX, though this matchup against the Lions is very favorable.
