The Minnesota Vikings are preparing for Sunday with Carson Wentz set to start if Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray does not clear the concussion protocol, according to Yahoo Sports reports. The decision depends on Murray’s status as the team moves through the remainder of the week’s procedures.
Yahoo Sports also reports that Murray remains in concussion protocol and is limited in practice, including during Thursday’s session. That limitation indicates he is not yet fully cleared to participate without restrictions. If Murray is unable to return to full participation and does not clear protocol in time, Wentz will take the starting role for Minnesota.
While the outlets agree on the conditional nature of the quarterback situation, they emphasize different pieces of the timeline: one notes that Wentz will start if Murray does not clear protocol, and the other focuses on Murray’s limited practice participation leading up to Sunday.
