 Murray was impressive for Scotland during the autumn Tests
|
Scotland may have to do without tight-head prop Euan Murray for the Six Nations opener against Wales.
Murray, a contender for Lions Test duty later this year, damaged his ribs during Northampton's European Challenge Cup victory over Toulon.
And he was forced to miss Saturday's 27-6 defeat against Harlequins.
Saints rugby director Jim Mallinder said: "Normally, ribs take a few weeks to recover. He is improving, but we don't know the state."
Scotland will be hoping to upset the reigning Six Nations champions by claiming a ninth win from the last 12 starts against Wales in Edinburgh.
But head coach Frank Hadden has a few other fitness worries to consider.
Last week, he called up five players to supplement his original 33-man training squad, with Glasgow prop Moray Low among them.
Low was joined by club-mate Johnnie Beattie, a number eight, Edinburgh flanker Scott Newlands and centres John Houston and Rob Dewey.
