Murphy suffered damaged ligaments in his left knee during the match and had to be taken off on a stretcher.
The 25-year-old, whose try set Ireland on the way to a 40-29 scoreline in Chicago and their first success over the All Blacks in 29 tests spanning 111 years which ended the world champions' record 18-match winning streak, will miss the Six Nations.
