Murphy (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Murphy practiced in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury, but Friday's injury report suggests that he'll return for Seattle's Week 7 contest. The 2024 first-round pick had missed the Seahawks' last three games, but he recorded nine total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, across three games before injury. Expect Murphy to serve as a rotational interior defensive lineman Sunday.

Rotowire
Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that he's optimistic Murphy (hamstring) will return for the Seahawks' Week 7 matchup against the Falcons, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Murphy has missed the Seahawks' last three games due to a hamstring injury picked up in Seattle's Week 3 win over the Dolphins. However, Macdonald's comments Friday suggest that the 2024 first-round pick is almost past the issue. Murphy's practice participation throughout next week will provide the best indication of whether he can return for Week 7.

Seahawks' Byron Murphy: Considered unavailable Wednesday
Rotowire
Murphy was estimated to be a non-participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Murphy missed the team's 42-29 loss to the Lions on Monday Night Football due to a hamstring injury that he suffered the week prior and he still appears to be working his way back from it to open this week. The defensive tackle will look to return to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Giants, though he seems unlikely to be able to go in Week 5. If he sits, Mike Morris is a candidate to see an increased workload again versus New York.

Seahawks' Byron Murphy: Ruled out for Week 4
Rotowire
Murphy (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Lions, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Murphy has been held out of practice all week due to a hamstring injury he picked up during Seattle's Week 3 win over Miami. The rookie first-round pick's next chance at playing will be Week 5 against the Giants, though Murphy's hamstring injury is severe enough that he could be out for more than just one game, as reported by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com on Wednesday. With starting defensive end Leonard Williams (ribs) also not playing Monday, Mike Morris is the top candidate to start opposite Jarran Reed while Myles Adams provides rotational depth.
