Wentz to Start for Vikings Against Bears as Murray Remains in Concussion Protocol

The Minnesota Vikings have officially announced that Carson Wentz will start at quarterback for their Week 2 matchup against the Chicago Bears. This decision comes as starting quarterback Kyler Murray has been ruled out, as he continues to be in the NFL's concussion protocol.

Murray sustained a head injury during the first quarter of his Vikings debut in Week 1 and was unable to progress sufficiently through the protocol to be cleared for Sunday's game. Coach Kevin O'Connell expressed optimism that Murray will be ready to play in Week 3 against Tampa Bay. The Vikings will look to Wentz to lead the offense in this critical NFC North division game.
