    Vikings' Kyler Murray: Sharpest game of season in win

    Kyler Murray completed 24 of 30 passes for 229 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding 10 rushes for 51 yards in the Minnesota Vikings' 23-13 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.Murray completed a season-high 80.0 percent of his passes while patiently carving up the Saints defense Sunday, and the returning Justin Jefferson unsurprisingly accounted for a significant chunk of the quarterback's production through the air with a 6-79-1 line on seven targets. Murray's yardage total was his second-highest of the season as well, trailing only the 247 he generated against the Dolphins in Week 4. The 2019 first overall pick may be starting to hit his stride in head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense, and he'll to further master the scheme during a Week 6 bye before returning to action in a Week 7 home matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 25.

    Vikings' Kyler Murray: Fails to produce TD in win over Miami

    Kyler Murray completed 27 of 37 passes for 247 yards while adding 16 rushing yards on six carries in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Dolphins.All of Minnesota's points came from the boot of Will Reichard, as Murray failed to lead the team into the end zone but also avoided committing any turnovers. With the defense playing at a high level, the veteran QB has been able to get away with a lack of production, but a 1:2 TD:INT through two-plus starts and little additional yardage on the ground may lead to some job security issues with Carson Wentz having proven he can run the offense effectively while Murray was sidelined with a concussion. The former Cardinal will try to find a rhythm during a Week 5 road trip to New Orleans.

    Vikings' Kyler Murray: Tosses first TD with Vikings

    Kyler Murray (concussion) completed 15 of 29 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception and took two carries for 17 yards during Sunday's 23-16 win at Tampa Bay.In his first game action since suffering a concussion in the first quarter of a Week 1 victory against the Packers, Murray lost No. 1 WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) in the first half Sunday but largely avoided any game-changing mistakes while leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 3-0 record on the season. Murray's first TD pass with Minnesota was a 41-yard connection with Jordan Addison late in the second quarter, while his pick well inside Vikings territory in the middle of the third quarter resulted in only a made Chase McLaughlin field-goal attempt for Tampa Bay. Murray's next chance for game action is next Sunday versus the Dolphins.

    Vikings' Kyler Murray: Will start Week 3

    Kyler Murray has cleared concussion protocol and will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.Murray was concussed 11 snaps into his regular-season Minnesota Vikings debut in Week 1 against the Packers and missed this past Sunday's win over the Bears. His return to the lineup will send Carson Wentz back to the bench as the QB2 after he completed 23 of 39 passes (59 percent) for 276 yards (7.1 YPA) and three touchdowns with no interceptions across the last two weeks against Green Bay and Chicago. Murray's return and Wentz's retreat to backup duties doesn't change much for the Minnesota pass catchers from a fantasy perspective.

    Vikings' Kyler Murray: Should be available Week 3

    Kyler Murray has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, but he's expected to clear concussion protocol next week and is "on track" to play Sept. 27 at Tampa Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Carson Wentz will draw the start for Minnesota in Week 2, after he came on in relief of a concussed Murray in the season opener and helped lead the Minnesota Vikings to a come-from-behind 39-22 win over the Packers. Murray was already able to take some steps forward in his recovery from the concussion by practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday, but he'll still need to upgrade to full participation and receive clearance from an independent neurologist before he's officially removed from the protocol.

    Vikings' Kyler Murray: Practicing again Friday

    Kyler Murray (concussion) was present for the start of Friday's practice, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.This marks three consecutive practices for Murray in the wake of suffering a concussion during a Week 1 win against the Packers, though in the first two Wednesday and Thursday, he was a limited participant in both. Even if Murray logs a full practice Friday, he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist to be able to play Sunday at Chicago. If that doesn't happen, Murray will yield starting duties to backup QB Carson Wentz.

    Vikings' Kyler Murray: Limited again Thursday

    Kyler Murray (concussion) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.Murray lasted only 11 offensive snaps before suffering a concussion during this past Sunday's 39-22 win against the Packers. It's generally a positive sign that he's been able to log some on-field activity in both Week 2 practices to date, but he likely will need to bump up to full participation Friday to give himself a chance to play Sunday in Chicago. If Murray isn't able to gain clearance from an independent neurologist ahead of that contest, Carson Wentz will direct the Minnesota Vikings offense this weekend.

    Vikings' Kyler Murray: Will be limited Wednesday

    Coach Kevin O'Connell said Kyler Murray (concussion) will be limited at Wednesday's practice, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.Murray lasted 11 offensive snaps before suffering a concussion this past Sunday against the Packers when he was sandwiched between two defenders. Carson Wentz came on in relief of Murray and helped lead the Minnesota Vikings to a 39-22 victory. O'Connell told Alec Lewis of The Athletic on Monday that Murray would be evaluated day by day as the team prepares for Sunday's road matchup with the Bears, but if the quarterback doesn't make the requisite progress and gain clearance from an independent neurologist, Wentz again will be under center for Minnesota.

    Vikings' Kyler Murray: In concussion protocol, day-to-day

    Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Kyler Murray is in concussion protocol and will be evaluated day by day leading up Sunday's road game in Chicago, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.In his Vikings debut during Sunday's 39-22 win over Green Bay, Murray completed three of five passes for 18 yards and an interception and ran twice for nine yards before being ruled out after sustaining the head injury when he was crunched between a pair of Packers defenders in the first quarter. Carson Wentz came on in relief and performed admirably to lead the Vikings to a come-from-behind victory, and with Murray facing an uphill battle to clear the five-step protocol before the weekend, Wentz will be the likely starter for the matchup with the Bears. On a positive note, Stefanski said that Murray is feeling better and was able to participate in meetings and watch film Monday, but Murray will still need his concussion symptoms to dissipate before he's able to do any on-field work.
