Murray met with the media on Saturday for the first time since Dec. 7, 2022, days before he injured his right knee against the New England Patriots on “Monday Night Football” in Week 14 of last season. He said he’s improving daily while also learning a new offense in the classroom and by taking mental reps on the field during training camp, which began earlier this week. Even though it’s a goal, Murray isn’t sure a Week 1 return is possible, he said Saturday.

“Obviously, me being the competitor I am, do I want to miss any time? No,” Murray said. “It’s not on my mind, but we’re not even in August yet. So, I’m taking it one day at a time.” Murray isn’t sure how much practice time he’ll need to get ready once he’s able to return because “I’ve never dealt with this.” He’s been ramping up his running and is to the point where he can cut.
