It's a new injury for Murray, who had steered clear of his new team's injury reports throughout the young season, but now has to deal with an ailment that has the tendency to nag athletes for weeks. It is unclear what Murray's status will be for Sunday, but Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles would be in for a big workload if Murray sits.
Fantasy impact: The nightmare for Murray’s owners won’t end. After logging just 2 rushing yards vs. his former team on Sunday, Murray is in position to not give his fantasy owners any kind of bounce-back game. Mid-week injuries are always concerning, given how little time there is to get over them, as well as the practice time players will miss because of them.
Ryan Mathews can be placed in the RB2 conversation if Murray can’t go, as could Sproles, but in PPR leagues. For now, Murray owners just have to play the waiting game.
