- On Sunday, September 13, 2026, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray left his debut against the Green Bay Packers after suffering a concussion during a first-quarter scramble at U.S. Bank Stadium.
- Packers safety Javon Bullard was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness after his collision knocked Murray's helmet off during the play.
- Before the injury, Murray completed 3 of 5 passes for 18 yards and threw an interception to Green Bay cornerback Keisean Nixon, whom the broadcast noted "picked it off."
- With Murray ruled out for the remainder of the game, the Vikings turned to backup quarterback Carson Wentz, while J.J. McCarthy remained inactive as the emergency third-string quarterback.
- To return to the field, Murray must clear the NFL's concussion protocol; players diagnosed with a concussion must wait at least five days before playing again.
