Vikings' Kyler Murray Remains in Concussion Protocol, Carson Wentz to Start Against Bears
As of early Wednesday, it was anticipated that Kyler Murray, the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, would continue in the concussion protocol and miss the game against the Chicago Bears this Sunday.
Carson Wentz, who led the Vikings to a 39-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers, is expected to take the helm if Murray is unable to play. NFL reporter Ian Rapoport noted that Wentz could remain the starter if he performs well against the Bears.
Wentz completed 12 of 19 passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns in the previous game. The Vikings' head coach, Kevin O’Connell, may face a decision regarding the quarterback position if Wentz continues to excel, especially since Murray signed a league-minimum deal this offseason. The team's status regarding Murray's practice participation on Wednesday will provide further clarity on his availability for the game.
