Vikings’ Kyler Murray is grateful he’s back from his concussion without much time lost
Kyler Murray, a quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, was sidelined after just 11 snaps in his team's first game due to a concussion. During the game, Murray attempted to end a run with a slide, resulting in a blow to the side of his head. The Vikings' first pass, an ill-advised throw into double coverage, was intercepted, leaving Murray feeling that he didn't get to play at all.
He acknowledged that such a scenario couldn't have been worse. However, Murray was fortunate to bounce back quickly. He will be on the field for the upcoming game against Tampa Bay. Murray expressed his gratitude for being healthy and excited about the future of the team. Backup Carson Wentz and the Vikings' defense have helped the Vikings return to an undefeated record.
Murray praised Wentz's steady play and emphasized the importance of protecting the football. Coach Kevin O'Connell highlighted that Murray's interception came from a poor decision and that the team has not turned the ball over since.
