Kyler Murray returns to Vikings lineup against Buccaneers after concussion
Summary

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray is set to start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 28, 2026, after recovering from a concussion suffered in the season opener. Murray's debut with the Vikings was cut short only 11 snaps into the game against the Green Bay Packers. Since then, Carson Wentz has led the team to a 2-0 record, including a Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears. As Murray steps back into the role, he aims to establish his identity within the offense, which has relied on a strong defensive performance. His matchup against former teammate Baker Mayfield adds an interesting personal element to the game.
