Keep up with the latest injuries from the Buccaneers vs Rams game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Jun 6, 2025
Spotted at OTAs
Murchison (foot) has been a participant in the Rams' offseason training activities.
ANALYSIS
Murchison broke his foot during practice last October and wasn't able to return from IR, though he was designated to return ahead of the Rams' divisional-round loss to Philadelphia. The veteran defensive tackle now appears to be back to health and is slated to serve as depth along the defensive line after re-signing with Los Angeles in mid-March.
Mar 15, 2025
Returns to Rams
The Rams re-signed Murchison (foot) to a one-year contract Friday.
ANALYSIS
Murchison missed the entire 2024 season after suffering an arm injury prior to the season and then a foot issue the day he returned to practice in October. He's presumably going to be healthy enough for a normal offseason and will serve as interior defensive-line depth for Los Angeles. Murchison has 44 career games of experience under his belt and has been with the Rams since being claimed off waivers from the Titans in December 2022.

Won't return for divisional round
Murchison (foot), who is on IR, has been ruled out for Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against the Eagles, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison has spent essentially the entire season on IR -- he opened the campaign there due to an arm injury, then hurt his foot in practice the day he was activated and immediately went back on injured reserve. The veteran defensive end was designated to return Thursday and subsequently logged two full practices, but he isn't yet ready to see game action.
Jan 16, 2025
Designated to return from IR
The Rams designated Murchison (foot) to return from injured reserve Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Murchison has been on injured reserve since Oct. 5 after breaking his foot during practice. He'll be able to return to practice this week, but he would likely have to practice in full this week in order to have a chance at being activated off IR ahead of Sunday's NFC divisional-round clash against the Eagles.
Oct 5, 2024
Goes on IR again
The Rams placed Murchison (foot) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Murchison opened the season on injured reserve due to an arm injury he sustained during the preseason. His practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, but he'll go back on injured reserve after breaking his foot during Wednesday's practice. He'll be forced to miss at least the next four games, meaning he can return as early as Week 10 against the Dolphins
Oct 4, 2024
Breaks foot
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Murchison will head back to injured reserve after breaking his foot during Wednesday's practice, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison was just activated off injured reserve Friday, but it now appears he'll head back after breaking his foot. The 27-year-old defensive lineman has yet to suit up for the Rams this season, and he'll now be forced to miss Los Angeles' next four contests. Murchison can return as early as Week 9, when the Rams play the Dolphins.
Oct 4, 2024
Activated Friday
The Rams activated Murchison (arm) off injured reserve Friday.
ANALYSIS
Despite Murchison's activation off IR, the 27-year-old downgraded from a limited practice Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, indicating he's still dealing with his arm issue. Murchison could still suit up for Sunday's contest against the Packers and would serve as a depth piece on the Rams' defensive line if he's able to play.
Oct 2, 2024
Practice window opens
Murchison (arm) had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Murchison has spent the first four weeks of the Rams' 2024 campaign on injured reserve due to an arm injury, but it now appears he could be nearing a return to the field. Los Angeles has 21 days to activate Murchison to its active roster before he reverts to IR. Once the NC State product has completely recovered from his arm issue, he's expected to serve as a rotational defensive lineman.
Aug 28, 2024
IR bound
Murchison (arm) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return.
ANALYSIS
Murchison suffered the injury in an Aug. 11 preseason game against the Cowboys and has been sidelined since. The NC State product will be eligible to return, if healthy, in Week 5 against the Packers.
Aug 11, 2024
Won't return Sunday
Murchison has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's preseason game against the Cowboys due to an arm injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison registered one tackle before leaving Sunday's contest in the second half. The 2020 fifth-round pick is competing for a depth spot on the Rams' defensive line behind Kobie Turner and Bobby Brown.
Mar 22, 2024
Re-signs with Los Angeles
The Rams re-signed Murchison on a one-year deal Friday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old defensive lineman spent time with the Rams during each of the last two seasons, and he'll remain in Los Angeles after agreeing to a new one-year deal Friday. Murchison appeared in 15 games for the Rams in 2023, recording 16 total tackles, including one tackle for loss, on 252 defensive snaps. He's expected to compete for another depth role on Los Angeles' defensive line as the offseason progresses.
Oct 27, 2023
Good to go Sunday
Murchison (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison was able to log a full practice Friday after being limited both Thursday and Wednesday, making it seem as if he's moved past his knee issue. The 26-year-old will likely serve as a rotational defensive lineman for Los Angeles' defense going forward.
Oct 20, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Murchison (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Murchison was held out of practice all week with a knee issue, so it's no surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday. Expect Earnest Brown to see more snaps on the Rams' defensive line with Murchison missing more time.
Oct 15, 2023
Unavailable Sunday
Murchison (knee) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite logging a limited session Friday, Murchison won't be able to suit up Sunday. In his absence, Earnest Brown is a candidate to see increased snaps along the Rams' defensive line.
Oct 13, 2023
Chance to play Sunday
Murchison (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison is trending in the right direction to play this coming Sunday, as he went from no participation in Wednesday and Thursdays practices to limited work Friday. If the veteran defensive tackle is unable to go, Earnest Brown will likely see an uptick in work on Los Angeles' defensive line.
Dec 26, 2022
Anticipates playing in Week 17
Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Murchinson (neck) is okay and will play in Week 17 against the Chargers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Murchinson sustained a stinger in his neck this past weekend versus Denver, the 297-pounder should continue operating in his usual rotational role on the Rams' defensive line New Year's Day against the Chargers. Murchison also logged career highs in both tackles (four) and sacks (two) in Sunday's blowout win over the Broncos.
Dec 25, 2022
Dealing with neck issue
Murchison is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a neck injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison had a strong start to Sunday's matchup, as he logged four solo tackles, including two sacks. However, he sustained a neck injury in the second half. Although he walked off the field under his own power, he went to the locker room shortly after, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Rams keep him off the field for the remainder of the game since the team has a significant lead over Denver.
Jan 6, 2022
Full participant Wednesday
Murchison (knee) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison has been sidelined by the knee injury since Week 14, but it appears he'll be ready to retake the field for the final game of the regular season. He's filled a rotational role on the defensive line when healthy and has seven total tackles in 10 games.
Jan 1, 2022
Out Sunday
Murchison (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison has been dealing with the knee injury the past couple weeks and will miss his third straight game. He's filled a rotational role on the defensive line when healthy for Tennessee.
Dec 29, 2021
Practices fully Wednesday
Murchison (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Mike Glennon of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison's finally recovered from the knee injury he suffered back in Week 14. He'll provide depth at defensive end against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Dec 22, 2021
Remains out Thursday
Murchison (knee) is out for Thursday against the 49ers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison left early in Week 14 against Jacksonville and will miss his second straight game. With Jeffery Simmons and Denico Autry the only healthy defensive ends currently on the Titans' roster, it's likely they will have to elevate someone from the practice squad in time for Thursday's contest with the 49ers.
Dec 17, 2021
Ruled out for Week 15
Murchison (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison played a season-low three snaps during the team's Week 14 win over the Jaguars after apparently picking up a knee injury. Jeffery Simmons and Denico Autry are currently the only available defensive ends for the Titans, so Tennessee will likely need to add some depth to their defensive front before Sunday's contest.
Oct 23, 2021
Activated from injured reserve
Murchison (elbow) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison will be active for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, but he will likely operate in a reserve role behind Denico Autry during his return to action. The 24-year-old defensive end played 64 defensive snaps and recorded three tackles across three games before he was placed on IR.
Oct 20, 2021
Designated for return from IR
Murchison (elbow) was moved to the Designated for Return from the Injured Reserve list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Murchison was originally placed on IR on Oct. 2nd. Once he is ready to return he'll hope to get back ahead of Denico Autry on the depth chart. Murchison had three tackles (two solo) and one tackle for loss in the first three games of the season, before the injury.
Oct 2, 2021
Placed on IR
Murchison (elbow) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Murchison suffered an elbow injury during the Titans' 25-16 win over the Colts in Week 3. The move to IR means that the defensive end's earliest chance to return to action will be Oct. 24. In his absence, Denico Autry is the most likely candidate to fill in at the position.
Oct 1, 2021
Won't play Sunday
Murchison (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Murchison has had a minimal impact so far this season, and he will miss his first game of the year in Week 4. The defensive end will likely get replaced by Denico Autry until he is healthy enough to return to the field. Murchison's next chance to play will be in Week 5 against the Jaguars.
Nov 25, 2020
Back as full participant
Murchison (back/ribs) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old sat out Sunday's win over the Ravens, but he's back at practice with no limitations Wednesday. Murchison should return to his reserve role on Tennessee's defensive line.
Nov 20, 2020
Won't face Ravens
Murchison (back/ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's road trip to Baltimore, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old defensive lineman was forced to exit Tennessee's Week 10 loss to the Colts because of a back injury, and he was unable to log even a limited practice session between Wednesday and Friday. With Murchison confirmed unavailable for the 6-3 Titans, depth behind Jack Crawford at right defensive end will be depleted for a matchup against Baltimore's top-ranked rush offense.
Nov 12, 2020
Dealing with back injury
Murchison (back) is questionable to return to Thursday night's matchup against Indianapolis, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-round rookie sustained the injury during the second quarter, docking Tennessee a key rotational piece along its defensive line for the time being. While Murchison could return to the AFC South tilt, depth at defensive end will be depleted behind Jack Crawford until he does. Murchison had not yet tallied a tackle when he exited the contest.
