Cowboys' Kenneth Murray: Strong IDP effort Sunday
Rotowire
Murray recorded nine tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's win over the Commanders.
The veteran linebacker tied with rookie Shemar James for the team lead in tackles, and Murray also added his first sack as a Cowboy. He has two 100-tackle seasons on his resume already, and in DC Matt Eberflus' LB-friendly scheme, Murray is on pace for another with 51 tackles through seven games.
Murray recorded five tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 37-22 win against the Jets.
Given Murray was on the field for 73 defensive snaps in Week 5, it's a bit surprising he posted his lowest tackle total of the year thus far. He's still on pace for a career high in that category on the season, making him a solid IDP option for a Week 6 tilt at Carolina.

Cowboys' Kenneth Murray: Leading tackler against Philly
Rotowire
Murray recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Thursday's loss to the Eagles.
Matt Eberflus' defensive scheme tends to boost the tackle totals of his linebackers, and Murray was the recipient of that boost in Week 1 as he tied safety Malik Hooker for the team lead in tackles for Dallas. Murray could have some IDP value in deeper formats, but DeMarvion Overshown (knee) should be the team's impact player at linebacker once he comes off the PUP list.

Titans' Kenneth Murray: Totals 95 stops in 2024
Rotowire
Murray (wrist) recorded 95 total tackles with 3.5 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble across 14 games in 2024.
This was Murray's first season in Tennessee, and he was a key member of the linebacker corps. He tallied a career-high 3.5 sacks and was well on pace to top 100 stops for the second straight season before a wrist injury derailed his season. However, he has a mounting history of injuries, missing multiple contests in three of his five pro seasons. Murray has another year on his contract with the Titans, though he could be a potential cut candidate.

Titans' Kenneth Murray: Wearing cast for wrist
Rotowire
Murray, who injured his wrist during the Titans' 38-30 loss to the Colts this past Sunday, was seen wearing a soft cast on his arm Tuesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Murray was able to overcome a hamstring injury to play against Indianapolis this past Sunday, but he came out of that contest with a wrist injury. His practice participation over the coming week will determine his chances of playing in Week 17 against the Jaguars. The Titans' inside linebacker corps has been decimated by injuries to Murray, Luke Gifford (concussion) and Otis Reese (ankle). If all three were to be sidelined for Week 17, then James Williams and Cedric Gray would likely start at inside linebacker while Jerome Baker provides rotational depth.

Rotowire
Murray (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Murray opened the Titans' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, but it still appears he's got a chance to suit up Sunday.

If Murray is unable to play in Week 16, Otis Reese (ankle) or Jerome Baker could see additional work with Tennessee's first-team defense.

Titans' Kenneth Murray: Exits versus Bengals
Rotowire
Murray is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a hamstring injury, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.
Murray missed last week's loss the Jaguars with a hamstring issue and was hampered by the injury during practice Wednesday and Thursday. The 26-year-old was a full participant during Friday's session, but it appears he aggravated this injury at some point during the first half. With Murray sidelined for the time being, the Titans will be extremely thin at off-ball linebacker, as Otis Reese (ankle) and Jerome Baker (coach's decision) are already inactive.
