Kyler Murray limited in practice; Brian O'Neill a DNP on Thursday
Summary

Kyler Murray was limited in practice for the second consecutive day as he works through the concussion protocol ahead of the Vikings' Week 2 game against the Bears. Brian O'Neill did not participate in Thursday's session due to a knee issue, raising concerns about his availability. O'Neill had been limited in practice on Wednesday. If he cannot play, Ryan Van Demark would likely step in as the starting right tackle. Meanwhile, linebacker Blake Cashman was upgraded to a full participant after earlier limitations, and Andrew Van Ginkel remained limited with a chest injury. Head coach Kevin O'Connell discussed the uncertain timeline for Murray but indicated he hopes for full participation by Friday.
