The Story in 60 Seconds

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray is dealing with hamstring tightness ahead of their Week 9 Monday night matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell stated there will be a full evaluation of the injury, confirming Murray will start if healthy enough. Murray previously missed Week 2 earlier this season due to a concussion.

Should Murray be unable to play, backup quarterback Carson Wentz is expected to start for Minnesota. Brandon Ray notes that this uncertainty forces Bills defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard and offensive coordinator Joe Brady to prepare for both potential starting quarterbacks heading into the contest.
