Seattle Seahawks rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy II is set to return after missing three games with a hamstring injury.

Why it matters: Murphy's return provides a boost to the Seahawks' defense and adds depth to their defensive line rotation.

Murphy stated that he is 100% healthy and confident about his return.

His presence on the field will give the Seahawks a talented interior defender who can disrupt opposing offenses.

What's new: The pre-draft rumors linking Murphy to the Atlanta Falcons did not come to fruition, as they passed on him and drafted quarterback Michael Penix Jr. instead.

Murphy expressed confidence in his abilities and believes the Falcons made a mistake by not selecting him.

Yes, but: Despite facing double teams on most of his pass-rush snaps before his injury, Murphy felt he was playing well and contributing to the team.

He understands that his impact goes beyond individual statistics and believes that drawing double teams opens up opportunities for his teammates.

What to watch: With Murphy's return, the Seahawks hope to improve their run defense, which has struggled in the games he has been out.

Murphy has emphasized his role in stopping the run, and his presence should help shore up the team's ability to limit rushing yards and yards per carry.

What's next: As Murphy returns to the lineup, the Seahawks will monitor his workload and gradually integrate him back into game action.

They will also assess his performance and evaluate how effectively he can contribute in different defensive schemes and packages.

The bottom line: Murphy's return is a positive development for the Seahawks' defense and adds another playmaker to their roster.

His presence in the middle of the defensive line will provide a boost in both pass rush and run defense, making him a valuable asset for Seattle moving forward.
