Jaguars' Eric Murray: Done for the season
Murray will miss the remainder of the season due to an elbow injury, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Murray hurt his elbow during the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Colts, although the exact nature of the injury is currently still unclear. Kaevon Merriweather and Rayuan Lane should see increased playing time in Murray's absence, and he will now shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2027 campaign.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Done for rest of Week 8
Murray (elbow) won't return to Sunday's game against the Colts, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
After being listed as questionable, Murray has now been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game with Indianapolis. The Jaguars have a short turnaround before meeting the Ravens on Thursday night. If Murray can't get healthy in time for that contest, Kaevon Merriweather and rookie Rayuan Lane may need to be more involved, especially if Antonio Johnson (ankle) remains on the shelf.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Iffy to return Sunday
Murray is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Colts due to an elbow injury.
Murray sustained the injury in the first quarter during the game's opening kickoff. With Antonio Johnson (ankle) sitting out Sunday, the Jaguars are already thin at safety and may be forced to rely more heavily on the likes of Kaevon Merriweather and rookie Rayuan Lane if Murray is unable to return.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Ready for Week 6
Murray (concussion) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.
Murray has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game. The strong safety has been cleared for full contact by an independent neurologist and is all set to suit up alongside Jaguars' free safety Antonio Johnson as the team takes on the Texans.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Not suiting up in London
Murray (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles in London.
Murray took a doubtful designation into the weekend after managing a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday, but he'll ultimately sit out against Philadelphia after he was unable to clear all five steps of the concussion protocol. With Murray sidelined for Week 5, Rayuan Lane is likely to take his spot as a starter in the secondary.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Unlikely to play against Philadelphia
Murray (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Murray entered the league's concussion protocol during the Jaguars' Week 4 loss to the Bengals. He progressed enough in the protocol to end Week 5 prep with back-to-back limited practices, but it seems he won't be cleared in time for Sunday's interconference game. Assuming Murray is ruled out, rookie sixth-rounder Rayuan Lane would likely start next to Antonio Johnson at safety.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Returns to practice Thursday
Murray (concussion) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Murray was placed in concussion protocol after taking a hard hit to the head Sunday against Cincinnati. He didn't practice Wednesday, but his ability to participate in limited fashion Thursday suggests the veteran safety is feeling better. With that said, Murray will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he's eligible to return to game action. If he's unable to play Sunday against Philadelphia, Rayuan Lane will likely move into a starting role.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Enters concussion protocol
Murray (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Murray has been diagnosed with a concussion after taking a hit to the head during Sunday's game, so Rayuan Lane should see more defensive snaps at safety moving forward. Murray will need to clear the league's protocol in order to be available for Week 5 against the Eagles on Oct. 11.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Overcomes neck injury in 2025
Murray logged 54 tackles (32 solo), including 1.0 sacks, six pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble across 12 regular-season games for the Jaguars in 2025.
Murray inked a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Jaguars in 2025 after spending the five prior seasons with the AFC South rival Texans. He served as the Jaguars' starting safety, but he was sidelined for five games after being placed on injured reserve in October due to a neck injury. Murray was cleared to return in early November and returned to his starting role over the final six games of the season, including the Jaguars' AFC wild-card loss to the Bills. He should start at safety in 2026, though who will start next to him remains to be seen, as Andrew Wingard will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Good to go vs. Indianapolis
Murray (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Murray has missed the Jaguars' last five games while on injured reserve due to a neck injury. He was activated from IR on Saturday, and the veteran safety has been officially cleared to return for Sunday's AFC South tilt. With Andrew Wingard (concussion) inactive, Murray and Antonio Johnson will likely serve as the Jaguars' starting safeties while Rayuan Lane and Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig serve as depth options.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Chance to suit up Sunday
The Jaguars activated Murray (neck) from injured reserve Saturday.
Murray was a full participant in practice during Week 14, and the activation from injured reserve means he has a good chance to suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts. The veteran safety last played in Week 7 against the Rams, and he logged 371 defensive snaps in the 2025 regular season before sustaining the neck injury. The absence of current starter Andrew Wingard (concussion) could also be a key factor influencing Murray's chances to play.

Jaguars' Eric Murray: Chance to return Week 14
Murray (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Murray was a full participant in practice during Week 14 , which has given the veteran safety a chance to be activated from injured reserve and return from a five-game absence due to a neck injury. If activated from injured reserve, Murray could be moved back into a starting spot at safety, especially with Andrew Wingard (concussion) ruled out.

The 31-year-old had missed the Jaguars' last four games due to a neck injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return.
