Vikings Get Major Kyler Murray Update Right After Statement Win Over Bears
Carson Wentz has the Vikings undefeated, but the latest update suggests Kyler Murray could reclaim the starting job soon.
The Minnesota Vikings emerged victorious in a hard-fought contest against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, securing a narrow 9-3 win despite challenging weather conditions. Quarterback Carson Wentz completed 11 of 20 passes for 143 yards, while star receiver Justin Jefferson managed just 55 receiving yards on three catches. Running back Aaron Jones contributed significantly with 105 yards on 23 carries.
However, the Vikings' defense proved to be the star of the show, stifling the Bears' high-powered offense, holding them to 297 total yards, forcing two turnovers, and preventing them from reaching the red zone. With the season's Week 2 concluded, attention has now shifted to the status of injured quarterback Kyler Murray, who missed the game due to a concussion.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show, it is expected that Murray will clear concussion protocol this week if there are no setbacks, potentially returning to action as early as next week. The Vikings currently stand at 2-0, and while Murray's return is anticipated, it may not be entirely welcomed news for Vikings fans who were hoping for a continued winning streak without his presence.
