  "account": "The Minnesota Vikings took the field against the Buffalo Bills on Monday evening with backup quarterback Carson Wentz under center, replacing starter Kyler Murray. Murray had been ruled out earlier in the week due to a hamstring injury, marking his second missed start of the season. The first was in Week 2 when he sat out with a concussion sustained during the season opener. The Vikings chose not to place Murray on injured reserve, but as of Monday, there was no clear timeline for his return.\n\nHead coach Kevin O'Connell described Murray's injury as week-to-week, leaving fans to speculate if the Vikings were simply benching the struggling quarterback. However, the team maintained that the delay was due to a legitimate hamstring injury.\n\nMurray's recent performance has been concerning, with only five touchdowns in his last five starts and ranking 26th among 31 qualified quarterbacks in adjusted EPA per play, according to RBSDM.com. In contrast, Wentz has been impressive, throwing for three touchdowns in a single game when he replaced Murray in Week 1.\n\nThis article was originally published on For The Win: Will Kyler Murray return for the Vikings?",
