Murray joins Vikings for limited practice in his concussion recovery; Mason out with broken thumb

Kyler Murray practiced with the Minnesota Vikings on a limited basis on Wednesday, potentially paving the way for a Sunday start. The possibility remains open that he could progress through the NFL concussion protocol and suit up for the upcoming game. However, Jordan Mason's status is uncertain, as the running back was placed on injured reserve with a thumb injury following surgery.

Mason is expected to return after a four-week recovery period. Meanwhile, Aaron Jones remains the primary playcaller, but Deejay Dallas has been activated from the practice squad, likely to bolster the team's depth chart. The Vikings will decide who starts by Friday, pending Murray's medical clearance.
