Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Friday that Murphy (knee) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Titans, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The UCLA product practiced in full Thursday and Friday after being designated to return from injured reserve Nov. 6. However, O'Connell's comments Friday suggest he's not ready for in-game action just yet. Murphy's next chance to take the field will come in Week 12, when the Vikings travel to Chicago. He must still be activated to Minnesota's active roster in order to suit up next week.

Murphy (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy started the season on injured reserve, and his 21-day practice window to be activated off IR opened Wednesday. He was able to log a limited practice Wednesday and Friday with a DNP on Thursday, and he'll need at least one more week to get into game shape. Week 11 against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 17 will be Murphy's next opportunity to make his 2024 regular-season debut.

The Vikings placed Murphy on injured reserve Tuesday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specific nature of Murphy's injury is not known, but he will have to miss at least four games before he can return. He joined the team as an undrafted free agent in hopes of earning a depth edge-rushing role. It is unclear if he would have made it through final roster cuts had his health been up to par.
