The 6-foot-3, 254-pounder, played in three games as a rookie, primarily on special teams. He played two games with Tennessee in 2024, before being released. He then was signed by the Chargers to the practice squad and was elevated to the active roster and played in three games. Murphy was released by the Chargers on Oct. 18, 2025 after playing in six games.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, he has played in 14 regular season games and has 9 total tackles and 8 special teams tackles.\u00a0 Another one of those Vrabel guys.\u00a0 The Chargers tried to sneak him through waivers on Game Day but the Patriots Front Office was sharp and claimed him for their open roster spot.\u00a0 They have been playing with 52 players since Antonio Gibson went on IR with the knee injury.\u00a0 Murphy ran a 4.81 40, which is slow for a Linebacker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First player in NFL history to Pass for 4,000 yards, Rush 500 yards, and have a Completion Percentage >69% through 1st 20
