Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray Clears Concussion Protocol, Will Start Against Tampa Bay
Coach Kevin O'Connell said Murray cleared the NFL concussion protocol and will start after Carson Wentz went 2-0 in his absence.
- On Monday, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell announced that quarterback Kyler Murray cleared the NFL concussion protocol and will start Sunday's Week 3 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- Murray sustained the concussion on the 11th play of his September 13 debut after absorbing a 'violent and physical' hit from Packers safety Javon Bullard, forcing an early exit.
- Backup Carson Wentz steered the Vikings to a 2-0 record during Murray's absence, completing 23 of 39 passes for 276 yards and three touchdowns without committing a turnover.
- Oddsmakers adjusted the outlook for the upcoming matchup, now listing Minnesota as a 2.5-point road favorite against the Buccaneers, reflecting renewed confidence in the Vikings' offense with their starter returning.
- Sunday's game marks the first time Murray faces Tampa Bay since 2019, offering a key opportunity to demonstrate if he can elevate the Vikings' offensive production beyond the level achieved during his recovery.
