Murphy had been listed as questionable with a back injury after being limited in practice on Friday and sitting out Thursday. The No. 16 overall draft pick missed three games earlier this season with a hamstring injury, but returned in Week 7 and his played his usual amount of snaps every game since.
Murphy has 0.5 sacks, 36 tackles, two tackles for loss and a quarterback hit in 13 games this season.
Seattle’s inactives are third-string quarterback Jaren Hall, linebacker Patrick O’Connell, wide receiver Cody White, wide receiver John Rhys Plumlee, nose tackle Brandon Pili, tight end Tyler Mabry and defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna.
Hall will serve as the emergency third quarterback behind veteran starter Geno Smith and backup Sam Howell. Smith was listed as limited in Friday’s practice with a biceps injury on his throwing arm, but didn’t carry an injury status designation.
Right tackle Abraham Lucas (abdomen) and cornerback Josh Jobe (knee) were both ruled out on Friday and then placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receiver Cooper Kupp, wide receiver Puka Nacua and running back Kyren Williams are all inactive as healthy scratches for the Rams, who are planning to rest many of their starters after clinching the NFC West title last weekend.
