Bengals DE Myles Murphy (knee) to miss time

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Myles Murphy avoided a serious injury but will be sidelined a few weeks with a sprained knee, multiple outlets reported Wednesday. The second-year player could make it back in time for the season opener against New England on Sept. 8. Murphy sustained the injury during Tuesday's joint practice with the Indianapolis Colts on a non-contact play. The 2023 first-round pick recorded three sacks and 20 tackles in 17 games (no starts) last season as a rookie. --Field Level Media
