Chargers' Kenneth Murray: Recovering from ankle surgery

Murray underwent a procedure on his left ankle Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Murray dealt with an ankle issue last preseason and spent later spent six weeks on injured reserve due to another ankle concern. In a post on social media Friday, he explained that he sustained the second injury in practice two days before a Week 4 matchup with the Raiders. The 2020 first-round pick ended up recording 31 tackles in 11 appearances during the 2021 season after opening his career with 107 stops as a rookie. Following his second campaign, the Chargers' medical team recommended that he stay off the ankle for 8-to-10 weeks, but while ramping up his activity recently it still was bothersome, and surgery was ordered up. Considering the timing, Murray likely will be healthy by the time training camp opens in late July.
