Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray was knocked out of Sunday's 39-22 win over the Packers due to a concussion caused by a hit from Packers safety Javon Bullard and Lukas Van Ness.
- The hit, which involved Bullard lowering his shoulder and hitting the side of Murray's head, drew a 15-yard penalty and left Vikings players angry, with some expressing regret for not targeting Bullard more during the game.
- Murray missed the remainder of the game and is expected to miss at least the next game, likely resulting in Carson Wentz starting for the Vikings in their upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bears.
- Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell has not provided an update on Murray's status but indicated the team will proceed on a day-by-day basis; the NFL is reviewing the hit but a suspension for Bullard is considered unlikely, though a fine may be issued.
- The incident has sparked strong reactions from Vikings players and staff, highlighting concerns over player safety and the nature of the hit during the game.
