The Los Angeles Chargers officially designated LB Kenneth Murray to return from injured reserve on Thursday, according to Ian Rapoport.
This opens a three-week window of time for the Chargers to activate him from injured reserve and add him to their 53-man roster.
Murray, 22, was a three-year starter at Oklahoma and earned second-team All-American honors before the Chargers traded up with the Patriots to select him with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2020 draft.
Murray signed a four-year, $12,974,941 rookie contract that includes a $6,996,321 signing bonus. The contract includes a fifth year for the Chargers to pick up for the 2024 season.
In 2021, Murray has appeared in three games for the Chargers and recorded 19 tackles.
