Louis Murphy: "I Feel Great"

Louis Murphy was kept from the game of football for 358 days. The last few felt like an eternity.

"I couldn't sleep during the bye week," said Murphy. "I was resting all bye week, just itching for Monday to come. I didn't get too much sleep last night. I'm just glad to be back. I'm glad to be with my teammates, just glad to be back out there in the huddle."

WATCH: MONDAY'S PRESS CONFERENCES

Murphy, who suffered a torn ACL in his right knee in a game at Washington on October 25 of last year, returned to the practice field on Monday, the first day he was eligible to do so.
