Murphy recorded one solo tackle and one interception in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars. Murphy has now nabbed a pick in each of the Vikings' last three games, intercepting Mac Jones in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win. The second-year Viking is currently on pace for his best season in Minnesota, having recorded 40 total tackles and eight passes defended, including four interceptions, through nine appearances this season. He's expected to continue starting alongside Shaquill Griffin and Stephon Gilmore as part of the Vikings' top cornerback trio in Week 11's matchup against the Titans.

Murphy recorded four solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts. The cornerback also played on all 49 defensive snaps. Murphy has 39 tackles (33 solo), seven passes defensed, including three interceptions, and a forced fumble in 2024.

Murphy logged seven tackles (five solo), two pass deflections and an interception in the Vikings' 31-29 win Sunday versus the Packers.

Murphy tallied nine tackles (eight solo) and a pass defended in Sunday's 28-6 win over the Giants. Murphy was just shy of notching double-digit tackles for the second time in his career. The Washington product had his 2023 campaign end early due to a Grade 3 MCL sprain, but he showed no ill effects Week 1 in helping hold the Giants' offense to just six points.

Murphy recorded 57 total tackles, 13 pass deflections, including three interceptions, and one forced fumble in 14 games with the Vikings during the 2023 regular season. Murphy was held out of the Vikings' last three games of the year due to a knee issue, but he was easily the team's most productive corner when healthy. In his first season of a two-year, $17.5 million deal that he signed with Minnesota this past offseason, the 26-year-old led the team in both pass deflections and interceptions. Murphy has struggled to stay on the field as of late though, missing 11 games over the past two seasons. Expect the Washington product to continue playing at a high level for the Vikings' defense in a contract-year in 2024.
