Murphy rushed seven times for 41 yards and brought in both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old drew even with Mike Tolbert in carries overall, a notable development considering that the expanded opportunity came as a result of LeSean McCoy exiting the contest early with an ankle injury. Although X-rays came back negative on the multi-time Pro Bowler, it remains to be seen if he'll be available or limited for next Sunday's wild-card road tilt against the Jaguars. Murphy would likely see an elevated workload in either scenario, and based on his solid performance Sunday, the extra touches could potentially render him an appealing option in playoff formats and DFS contests.

The Bills promoted Murphy from the practice squad Tuesday, Joe Buscaglia of WKBW.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy joined the Bills' practice squad in early November and could dress for the club in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins after third-string back Travaris Cadet (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. If Murphy suits up in Week 17, expect him to see most of his action on special teams.

Murphy signed with the Bills' practice squad Monday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy has previously had stints on the Colts' and Jets' practice squads this season. The Bills are lacking in depth at running back after Taiwan Jones (arm) was moved to injured reserve following the team's Week 9 loss to the Jets, but Murphy will likely need another injury to one of LeSean McCoy, Mike Tolbert or Travaris Cadet before earning a promotion to Buffalo's 53-man roster.

Murphy was released from the Jets' practice squad on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy signed with the Jets' practice squad at the end of the preseason but now could be in line to join an active roster as a free agent. The running back appeared in 16 games for the Saints during the 2015-16 season.

Murphy signed with the Jets' practice squad on Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy was waived by the Jets during roster cuts but will now get the opportunity to remain with the team as a member of the practice squad. The Jets can promote the third-year pro to the active roster at any point this season.

Murphy was waived by the Jets on Monday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy's best chance to make the roster for Week 1 would've been as a return man. He totaled 14 carries this preseason for just 32 yards, but he may be a good candidate for a practice squad.

Murphy was claimed off waivers by the Jets on Thursday, Brian Costello of The New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy was waived by the Saints yesterday and he now joins the stable of running backs in New York. He'll compete against Romar Morris, Brandon Wilds, and Jordan Todman for a depth position on offense and a special teams role.

Murphy was waived by the Saints on Wednesday, Joseph Katzenstein of The Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy, the Saints seventh-round pick in 2015, only played in three games last season. He was last seen fumbling a kickoff out of bounds at the one-yard line in Week 11, so this move is not all that surprising. The Missouri product will presumably clear waivers, and look to land a fresh start with another team.

Murphy appeared in only three games in 2016, gaining 105 yards on seven kickoff returns and 57 yards on six punt returns. He also caught one pass for three yards but did not receive a carry.
EDGE Analysis
The writing is probably on the wall for Murphy, the Saints' seventh-round draft pick in 2015, who was last seen fumbling a kickoff out of bounds at the one-yard line in Week 11 last season. Murphy showed some flashes in the return game, but he is unlikely to return to New Orleans in 2017.
