Minnesota quarterback Kyler Murray is undergoing a concussion evaluation after leaving the Vikings’ Week 1 game against Green Bay in the first quarter.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray left his team’s Week 1 game against the Green Bay Packers in the first quarter after apparent helmet-to-helmet contact while sliding.
Murray was taken to the locker room for a concussion evaluation after remaining on the ground, with teammates signalling for assistance from the sideline. Yahoo Sports reported that the contact involved Packers safety Javon Bullard, who was penalised for a personal foul.
Carson Wentz replaced Murray at quarterback. JJ McCarthy was listed as Minnesota’s No. 3 emergency quarterback.
The available information does not confirm whether Murray has been diagnosed with a concussion, how long he might be unavailable or whether he could return after completing concussion protocols.
