Murray (ankle) was placed on on the Vikings' preseason Physically Unable to Perform list Monday prior to the start of training camp, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Murray signed a three-year, $15 million contract in March and underwent surgery to address bone spurs shortly thereafter. He was expected to be ready for the start of training camp, so this news isn't particularly encouraging. If he's slow to participate in full practices, Murray could quickly fall behind Dalvin Cook in the competition for touches at running back. However, the decision to place Murray on the PUP list could be a temporary one, and he could very well be activated early in training camp.
