Murphy (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Chiefs, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Murphy will serve as a healthy scratch for Monday's AFC showdown. The Bills are looking for a spark after a tough loss to the Titans in Week 5, and perhaps this will help the team get right. Mario Addison is likely to start in Murphy's place, and Quinton Jefferson likely will rotate in as he typically does.

Murphy is expected to be a healthy scratch for Monday's game versus the Chiefs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bills are mixing things up this week after a disappointing loss to the Titans, as Harrison Phillips is also expected to be a healthy scratch. Mario Addison could start in Murphy's place, and Quinton Jefferson figures to handle plenty of work as well.

Murphy posted two tackles and a sack in Sunday's win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy now has 7.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in his last seven games (six regular-season games and one playoff contest). While he did start Sunday and is a starter on the depth chart, he saw a modest 45 percent of the defensive snaps, though that's more because Buffalo uses a heavy rotational system on the D-line. Murphy may not approach the 9.0 sacks he put up for Washington in 2016, but he's worth keeping an eye on, as he seems past some of the injury issues that have plagued his recent seasons.

Murphy had 2.0 sacks and six total tackles during Sunday's playoff loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran finished the season quite strong following some early season struggles, with two sacks each between Week 17 and the Bills' playoff loss, and at least one full sack in four of the last six games he's played. Murphy has one year left on a hefty three-year, $22.5 million deal he signed in 2018, and while the Bills have tons of cap space for 2020, he's a potential cut candidate simply because his production -- until recently -- hasn't come close to matching his dollar figure. The veteran finished the regular season with 36 tackles, 5.0 sacks, three passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries while playing in all 16 games for the first time since 2016.

Murphy had three tackles -- including his third sack of the season -- and a forced fumble during Sunday's win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran defensive end is a long way from his 9.0-sack season with Washington in 2016, but he's seemingly finding his groove again (following some injury-plagued seasons) as the Buffalo defense continues to heat up. Murphy has two sacks over the last three games, while seeing exactly 63 or 64 percent of the defensive snap counts in each of the last four weeks.

Murphy (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy sustained a concussion during the Week 5 win over the Titans, but he looks good to go coming off the bye week for Sunday's against the Dolphins. The 29-year-old has four tackles, three passes defensed, an interception and a fumble recovery through five games.

Murphy is in the concussion protocol Monday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Titans. He'll benefit from extra time to clear the league's protocol for head injuries with the Bills on bye Week 6.

Murphy left Sunday's win over the Titans with a head injury and did not return, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy logged just one tackle before departing. The only good news for the veteran is that the Bills are on bye in Week 6, giving him an extra week to heal, which could prove especially important if he ends up being diagnosed with a concussion and has to go through the league's protocol.

Murphy made one tackle and had an interception in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

It was the second consecutive game Murphy forced a turnover, as he nabbed a tipped pass from Eli Manning at the line of scrimmage for his first career interception. The 28-year-old suited up for 63 percent of the teams' defensive snaps, down from his 57 snap game last week. Murphy and the rest of the defense will get a solid match up against the Bengals for Week 3.

Murphy, who struggled at times in his first season as a Bill while still recovering from ACL surgery, finally feels he's at full health, Jason Wolf of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy played in 13 games for the Bills last season, but he didn't look nearly as explosive as 2016, when he logged 9.0 sacks for Washington. He posted a career-low 24 tackles in 2018 and logged only 4.0 sacks following a blank 2017 caused by the preseason knee injury. We'd expect much more this season, though with the Bills preferring a rotation system between Murphy, Jerry Hughes and Shaq Lawson -- all of whom are capable of pressuring the passer -- Murphy's snap count gets mollified compared to top defensive ends, even though he's technically a starter. But certainly, a healthy Murphy makes a strong Buffalo defense that much better.
