  "account": "Vikings backup quarterback Carson Wentz struggled in Minnesota’s 9-3 win against the Bears, as evidenced by his 11-of-20 completion rate and being sacked three times. Kyler Murray, the Vikings’ starting quarterback, is currently out due to a concussion. Despite limited practice time, head coach Kevin O’Connell expressed confidence that Murray will clear the NFL’s concussion protocol early next week. If Murray does clear the protocol, he could potentially start in the Vikings’ Week 3 home game against the Buccaneers. Murray’s return would significantly bolster the Vikings’ chances, as he has demonstrated solid play and exceptional talent during training camp.",
  "summary": "It sounds like Murray is on track to be back on the field for the Vikings next weekend in Tampa.",
