Kyler Murray unlikely to play for Vikings against Bears
Summary

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray is reportedly not expected to play against the Chicago Bears on September 17. Murray is currently in the league's concussion protocol following a concussion sustained during the first quarter of the season opener against the Green Bay Packers. He was hit hard while scrambling on a play, leading to him being helped off the field. If Murray is unable to play, Carson Wentz will take over the Vikings' offense. Wentz played well in relief, throwing for three touchdowns after Murray's exit.
