Buffalo Bills defensive end Trent Murphy's playing time will be put on hold with what head coach Sean McDermott is calling "a nagging groin injury." This will give 2016 first-round pick Shaq Lawson a taste of a starting role for an undetermined amount of time. This all stems from a torn ACL that has been a recurring problem for Murphy in training camp. Just recently in the offseason, Murphy signed a three-year deal worth $22.5 million. Of his five seasons of play in the NFL, Murphy had a very productive 2016 with the Washington Redskins, registering 47 tackles and nine sacks. The Bills have high hopes for Murphy. Last season as a team they only had 27 sacks. If Murphy is held up too long with the injury, the Bills should still be in good hands with the ever-improving Lawson, as he has shown great quickness and tenacity in the 10 games he started in 2017 as well as early on in training camp.--Joel DorcasRead More News
