Murphy is now back with the Chargers after he was waived by the Giants after failing to make their initial 53-man roster. NFL insider Jordan Schultz was among the first to announce that the Chargers added Murphy, but Los Angeles made it official on Thursday.
The 26-year-old went undrafted in 2023 and has played for three other organizations in his time in the NFL. He initially joined the Titans, signing as an undrafted free agent. After two seasons there, Murphy signed
with the Chargers' practice squad in October 2024.
In nine games as a Charger, Murphy has recorded 14 tackles, one quarterback hit, and 0.5 sacks.
Murphy last played for the Patriots, appearing in five games and recording two tackles.
As for Tucker, he signed with the Chargers after going undrafted in 2026. He spent most of his offseason with the Bolts, but failed to make the 53-man roster. However, he was signed to the practice squad on Monday.
The Chargers decided to pivot, and Tucker will now look for a new team as the season quickly approaches.
