Vikings QB Murray Leaves His Debut in the 1st Quarter with a Concussion After a Hit to the Head
On Sunday, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray was ruled out for the remainder of the game against the Green Bay Packers after suffering a concussion from a first-quarter hit to the head.
Packers safety Javon Bullard was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness after slamming his shoulder into Murray's helmet during a third-and-7 run, knocking off the quarterback's helmet.
Veteran Carson Wentz replaced the injured Murray at quarterback and led the Vikings to a field goal on the ensuing drive after signing a 1-year deal for depth.
With J.J. McCarthy inactive as the emergency quarterback, the Vikings are one injury away from the 2024 first-round pick entering the game, NFL reporter Nikhil Mehta noted.
The Vikings' quarterback room has remained volatile since Sam Darnold left for the Seattle Seahawks after 2024, while Wentz became the first quarterback to start for 6 different teams in 6 consecutive seasons.
