"The 28-year-old Scotland international has recently resumed running on grass, with the recovered areas of his lower body feeling good. Morgan appeared in just three matches this season. After recovering from a knee injury that required surgery in March, a lingering quad issue sidelined him from June on, despite the hope that he would be able to return in September."
"The Red Bulls struggled mightily in his absence, ultimately failing to make the MLS Playoffs for the first time since 2009. This was the second time in the last three years that injuries derailed the majority of Morgan's season. In 2023, a rare and recurring hip issue that also required surgery limited his campaign to just five games."
"He provided a reminder of just how invaluable he is when healthy last season, though, winning the 2024 MLS Comeback Player of the Year Award by scoring 13 goals, serving as a key cog in the Red Bulls' Cinderella run to an Eastern Conference title, and appearing for the Scottish national team at the famed European Championships. That season ultimately earned him a two-year deal through the 2026 season with options for 2027 and 2028."
