Fox News • • sports
Key Points:
- Kyler Murray's debut as the Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback was marred by an interception on his first pass and a concussion injury on the third possession of the season opener.
- Murray took a severe hit to the head and neck area from Packers defenders Lukas Van Ness and Javon Bullard, with the latter drawing a personal foul for unnecessary roughness.
- After collapsing in a fencing response position, Murray was evaluated for a concussion and ruled out for the remainder of the game, entering the NFL concussion protocol.
- Backup quarterback Carson Wentz replaced Murray, who will likely miss at least two weeks as he follows the standard concussion recovery timeline.
- The injury and poor performance mark a difficult and disappointing start to Murray's tenure with the Vikings.
