Murphy recorded four total tackles (one solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy tied DeMarcus Lawrence for the team lead in sacks during Sunday's win. The 2024 first-round pick from Texas has had an incredible start to his second NFL season, tallying 23 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, through Seattle's first six games. He appears to be emerging as one of the league's premier interior pass rushers and will look to build on another strong performance when the Seahawks face the Texans in Week 7.

Murphy logged three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Seahawks' 44-13 win over the Saints on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy got to Spencer Rattler early in the third quarter for a six-yard sack, which forced the Saints to punt on the next play. Murphy had just 0.5 sacks across 14 regular-season games during his rookie season in 2024, but he's already up to 2.5 sacks (which have come over the last two contests). He'll look to extend his sack streak to three games Thursday against the Cardinals.

Murphy registered five tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, against Pittsburgh in a 31-17 victory Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy and Leonard Williams came together to bring down Aaron Rodgers on the final play of the first half, and Murphy later sacked Rodgers on his own with 3:41 remaining in the contest. Murphy had just a half-sack over 14 regular-season games last year, so he's already exceeded that through two weeks in the current campaign.

Murphy (back) is expected to be a bigger factor as a pass rusher in 2025, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy struggled with a hamstring injury early in 2024 and closed the season with a back injury, but he's fully healthy for the start of training camp and is gearing up for an important role in the Seahawks' revamped offense. The 2024 first-round pick relayed that he's expected to work more in the three technique this season, which should hopefully help him improve after he finished with just 0.5 sacks last year.

EDGE Analysis
Listed as questionable heading into the weekend after sandwiching a pair of limited practices around an absence Thursday, Murphy will get the green light to suit up in the final game of his rookie season.

Murphy (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy practiced in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury, but Friday's injury report suggests that he'll return for Seattle's Week 7 contest. The 2024 first-round pick had missed the Seahawks' last three games, but he recorded nine total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, across three games before injury. Expect Murphy to serve as a rotational interior defensive lineman Sunday.
