NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Kyler Murray will miss at least one week due to a hamstring strain, ruling him out for the Vikings' Monday night game against the Bills; he is considered week-to-week.
- Head coach Kevin O’Connell emphasized the importance of preserving Murray’s mobility to avoid worsening the injury and confirmed injured reserve is not being considered.
- Carson Wentz will start in Week 9, marking his second start this season, after previously stepping in for Murray following a concussion and performing solidly.
- O’Connell expressed strong confidence in Wentz’s experience and ability to manage the offense effectively in Murray’s absence.
- The Vikings’ offense has struggled this season, ranking near the bottom in scoring and total yards, and Wentz’s performance will be key to potentially revitalizing the team.
