  "summary": "The Minnesota Vikings have announced that quarterback Kyler Murray will miss the upcoming Week 2 game against the Chicago Bears due to a concussion. Murray suffered the head injury during the team's win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, leading to him being placed in concussion protocol on Monday. Despite being able to attend team meetings, Murray has been limited in practice this week. As a result, Carson Wentz will take over as the team's starting quarterback for the next game, following his impressive performance in the Vikings' opening season victory over the Packers.",
