Vikings to start QB Carson Wentz vs. Bills as Kyler Murray recovers
The Vikings are turning to their backup in prime time, as Minnesota will start Carson Wentz as Kyler Murray recovers from a sore hamstring.
The Minnesota Vikings have made the decision to start Carson Wentz at quarterback for their upcoming Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills, due to Kyler Murray's persistent hamstring injury. Murray, who has now missed three games, sustained the injury during a loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Wentz, an 11-year veteran, will be making his second start of the season in this Monday Night Football matchup.
Last season, he played five games in Murray's absence before suffering a season-ending injury to his non-throwing shoulder. This season, Wentz has completed 23 of his 39 passes for 276 yards and three touchdowns, providing a passing offense of 165.6 yards per game for the Vikings, which currently ranks 31st.
