Starting quarterback + concussion protocol + high-profile offseason move + backup threw three TDs + clear Week 2 starting-status resolution
Kyler Murray's Week 2 status is already in serious doubt. Minnesota's new starting quarterback lasted less than one quarter of his Vikings debut before suffering a concussion. Murray took a hard hit to the head while scrambling against Green Bay, was ruled out, and entered the NFL's concussion protocol. Carson Wentz replaced him and threw three touchdown passes as Minnesota rallied for a 39-22 win. The Vikings travel to Chicago for an NFC North matchup in Week 2. Minnesota finally settled its quarterback situation entering the season. One game later, it may already have another decision to make.
