Murray has hamstring soreness, but the Vikings aren’t ready to say if his availability is a question

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray experienced hamstring soreness during the team's first loss of the season in Detroit. The soreness didn't keep Murray from playing in the 19-15 defeat, but he appeared to be moving gingerly on Sunday against the Lions. Coach Kevin O'Connell stated that it is too early to determine Murray's availability for the upcoming game against Buffalo.

Murray's performance against the Lions was particularly lackluster, as he completed 17 of 29 passes for 210 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception. Over his first five games of the season, the Vikings have averaged only 18 points per game. With a concussion early in their season opener and sitting out the following week, O'Connell expressed that Murray would still be the starter if he is healthy enough to play. Carson Wentz serves as the backup quarterback.
