Carson Wentz will make his second start of the season. The Vikings confirmed that Wentz will start at quarterback against Buffalo. Murray was ruled out for Monday’s game with a hamstring injury.
For the 33-year-old Wentz, this will be his second start this season. He stepped in during Week 2 after Murray was sidelined by a concussion sustained in the season opener.
Wentz led Minnesota to a 9-3 win over the Chicago Bears that day. Now the Vikings face another team with a strong record this season: the Bills. The game will be played in Minneapolis.
Murray considered week-to-week
Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said Murray is currently considered “week-to-week.” That means there is no set timetable for his return. After Minnesota’s road loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, O’Connell publicly revealed for the first time that Murray was dealing with issues—or a strain—in his hamstring.
According to O’Connell, Minnesota is not currently considering placing Murray on injured reserve. The coach did not provide further details about the exact severity of the injury or a possible return date.
Max Brosmer will serve as Wentz’s backup against Buffalo. The quarterback decision is particularly significant for the Vikings, as Minnesota, Buffalo and the San Francisco 49ers share the NFL’s best record at 6-1.
Carson Wentz is set to make his second start for Minnesota this season, while Murray waits to see how his hamstring injury develops.
