Myles Murphy is expected to be out for several weeks due to a knee injury

Bengals defensive end Myles Murphy left practice on Tuesday after get hurt and head coach Zac Taylor had no update on his condition when he spoke to reporters after the meeting.

There is still no word from the team about Murphy, but outside reports about his status are trickling in. James Rapien of SI.com reports that Murphy is Knee sprain and Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that he is expected to be out for several weeks due to the injury.

The Bengals play the Patriots on Sept. 8, so there's a risk that Murphy might miss the opening game due to the schedule. The team also lost Cam Sample to a torn Achilles this summer and Sam Hubbard has struggled with injuries, so the defensive end group has been somewhat thinned.

Murphy had 20 tackles and three sacks after being drafted in the first round last year.
