Murphy logged seven tackles (five solo), two pass deflections and an interception in the Vikings' 31-29 win Sunday versus the Packers. Murphy was one of the three Minnesota defenders to intercept Jordan Love during Sunday's victory. The 2019 second-round pick has now recorded 24 tackles (19 solo) and an interception throughout the first four games of the season.

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.

Murphy (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday. With just one practice left before the Vikings' game in Week 18, Murphy still hasn't been able to get back onto the practice field during the week. If he can't manage to participate Friday, he'll probably end up being sidelined Sunday.

Murphy (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday night's game against the Packers, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. The 25-year-old cornerback was held out of practice all week after missing the Vikings' Week 16 loss to the Lions, so it's no surprise that he won't play in his second consecutive game Sunday night. With Murphy missing Week 17, expect both Andrew Booth and NaJee Thompson to see increased work in Minnesota's secondary.
