Murray on track to start Week 3 for Vikings after concussion sidelines opener
Kyler Murray missed Week 2 with a concussion sustained in the Vikings' opener, per ESPN, and coach Kevin O'Connell expects him back against Tampa Bay.
Kyler Murray is expected to clear concussion protocol in time to start Week 3 against Tampa Bay, per ESPN. Per ESPN, the Vikings quarterback sustained the concussion in Week 1 against Green Bay and sat out the Week 2 matchup against Chicago, during which Carson Wentz took the snaps.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell said he fully anticipates Murray returning as the starter for the Tampa Bay game, per ESPN.
The Vikings will welcome back their primary signal-caller if cleared. The concussion protocol's stepwise return-to-play framework means Murray's availability remains subject to independent medical evaluation, though O'Connell's stated confidence suggests progress through the assessment stages.
