Vikings QB plan for Week 2 amid Kyler Murray injury uncertainty revealed

Minnesota Vikings quarterback situation remains uncertain for Week 2, with Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz vying for the starting role. Murray is currently in concussion protocol following a season opener injury, and his health is the main factor in the decision process. According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, if Murray passes concussion protocol, he will start against the Chicago Bears.

However, if he fails to clear, Carson Wentz will take over as the starting quarterback. Wentz, who had a strong performance in Week 1, is seen as a solid veteran option to help the Vikings secure a win, especially considering the strength of their defense. J.J. McCarthy, while possessing higher upside, is considered to have a lower floor compared to Wentz, making the latter the safer bet for the Vikings' Week 2 game.
