Murphy (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Murphy was activated from injured reserve Friday following full participation at each practice during Week 5 prep. The 2023 first-round pick recorded 20 tackles and 3.0 sacks as a rookie and is expected to serve as a rotational edge rusher against Baltimore.

Murphy (knee) was activated off injured reserve Friday. The 2023 first-round pick missed the Bengals' first four games this season due to a knee injury, but following Friday's activation, he's got a chance to make his 2024 debut Sunday. Murphy is projected to serve as one of Cincinnati's top rotational edge rushers once he returns to the field.

Murphy (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens. Murphy has practiced in full all week after being designated to return from Cincinnati's injured reserve list Wednesday, so he could be making his 2024 debut Sunday. However, Murphy still needs to be activated to the Bengals' active roster by the time of Sunday's contest, and if he needs more time to recover from his knee injury, expect Cedric Johnson to serve as Cincinnati's top reserve left defensive end.

Murphy (knee) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return by the Bengals on Tuesday. Murphy sprained his knee during the Bengals' joint practice with the Colts on Thursday. He'll miss the first four games of the regular-season, and he is eligible to return for Week 5 against Baltimore.

Murphy is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks due to a knee injury he sustained during Wednesday's joint practice with the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. The good news for Murphy and the Bengals is that his knee injury is not of the season-ending variety. However, it likely means that the 2023 first-round pick will miss the beginning of the regular season. Murphy's absence opens the door for Cedric Johnson, Joseph Ossai and Justin Blazek to see more backup reps at defensive end behind starters Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard (knee).
