Kyler Murray in concussion protocol
Why you should care:
The Vikings’ quarterback situation is unclear heading into Sunday’s game. Kevin O’Connell said Monday Kyler Murray is in concussion protocol. In his absence, Carson Wentz passed for 133 yards, three touchdowns and led four touchdown drives against Green Bay.
If Murray can’t clear the protocol, Wentz would likely get the start and McCarthy would be the back-up.
The Vikings last started 2-0 in 2024, when Sam Darnold the team to a 14-3 record despite a loss in the NFC Wild Card Playoffs.
