Kenneth Murray Jr. Fantasy

The Los Angeles Chargers placed linebacker Kenneth Murray (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Monday with an ankle injury that he suffered in practice on Saturday. Murray was listed as questionable to face the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, but now he'll be forced to miss the next three weeks. The good news is that he's likely to return after that, according to a source. The 22-year-old had to be carted off the field on Saturday, so the Bolts are lucky that he's not out longer. Murray has recorded 19 tackles and a fumble recovery in the first three games of the 2021 season. In his absence, expect Drue Tranquill and Nick Niemann to see more playing time in the middle of the Chargers defense.

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Kenneth Murray (ankle) rolled his ankle in practice on Saturday and is now questionable to play on Monday night against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Murray needed to be carted off the practice field, but it looks like the injury isn't quite as serious as it initially looked. The 22-year-old has recorded 19 tackles (11 solo) and a fumble recovery in the first three games, so the Chargers defense would be missing a key defender if he is ruled out in Week 4. Los Angeles' defense/special teams ranks 15th in overall fantasy points so far this year, but they'll be a shaky starting unit in fantasy leagues this week against a Raiders offense that has been playing lights-out early on.

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Kenneth Murray (leg) was taken from the practice field Saturday on a cart after appearing to sustain a lower left leg injury. Murray has started each of the team's first three games this season, combining to make 19 tackles, one of which has gone for a loss. Taken in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Murray has been an impact player for the Chargers defense since his arrival, with his potential loss at linebacker a blow to a unit that takes the field Monday against the Raiders. Check back in the coming days for an update on Murray, although Los Angeles' defense is likely on the outside looking in of viability in Week 4 irrespective of their linebacker's status.
