The Minnesota Vikings rule out quarterback Kyler Murray for their Week 2 game against the Chicago Bears. Multiple outlets report Murray remains in concussion protocol after he is injured during Minnesota’s Week 1 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
In that Week 1 game, Murray leaves early following a significant hit, and Carson Wentz takes over in relief. CBS Sports and other outlets say Murray’s stint in the Vikings’ debut lasts less than one quarter, with the injury keeping him out of Week 2. Star Tribune notes Wentz’s Week 1 performance, including three touchdown passes, and also highlights that Sunday marks Wentz’s 100th NFL start.
Fox Sports and Yahoo Sports likewise report that Wentz will be the starter against Chicago. While outlets differ slightly in emphasis—such as the duration of Murray’s play, the specifics of Wentz’s statistics, or the significance of his milestone start—they agree on the core updates: Murray is sidelined by concussion protocol and Wentz is named to start.
