Kyler Murray will return at QB for the Vikings this week after clearing the
concussion protocol
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) --- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray has been
cleared from the NFL concussion protocol and will return to action this week at
Tampa Bay.
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed Monday that Murray will be back in the
starting lineup for the game against the Buccaneers, after Carson Wentz
relieved him in the season opener against Green Bay and started in his place at
Chicago on Sunday.
Murray's debut for Minnesota on Sept. 13 lasted just 11 plays, before a hit to
the side of his head from the lowered shoulder of Packers safety Javon Bullard
forced him out of the game with a concussion.
Wentz helped the Vikings come back to beat the Packers 39-22 by closing that
game with 29 consecutive points and made enough key throws to complement a
dominant defense and a productive running game in the rain in a 9-3 win over
the Bears. Wentz went 23 for 39 for 276 yards and three touchdowns over two
games, taking six sacks with no turnovers.
