Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray has cleared NFL concussion protocol and will start in Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, coach Kevin O'Connell announced. Murray missed last week’s game against the Chicago Bears due to sustaining an injury during Week 1 when he was knocked out of the game against the Green Bay Packers. During Murray’s absence, backup quarterback Carson Wentz led the Vikings to two victories, but with a modest performance in terms of passing yards and no touchdowns or interceptions. Coach O'Connell noted that while Wentz's conservative playmaking style provided an opportunity for Murray to observe effective team coordination, he is confident that Murray will resume leading the Vikings this Sunday.

The matchup is set for Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida, with kickoff scheduled for 4:05 p.m. EST.
