Vikings promote Carson Wentz, may start against Bills

Summary

The Minnesota Vikings are poised to start quarterback Carson Wentz in their upcoming Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills. Kyler Murray, the current starter, may miss time due to a hamstring issue sustained during the Vikings' loss to the Detroit Lions. While Murray has been underwhelming this season, his injury may provide a reason for the Vikings to shift back to Wentz without formally benching Murray. This decision comes amid growing calls from fans and analysts for a quarterback change following recent performances.
