Story summary

Kyler Murray, who sustained a concussion in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, has cleared NFL concussion protocol and will start for the Minnesota Vikings against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Murray missed the previous game due to his injury while backup Carson Wentz led the Vikings to victories over the Packers and Chicago Bears. The Buccaneers, currently winless at 0-2, face a struggling defense after their poor start, making them an ideal opponent for Murray's return. The matchup is set for Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida, with kickoff scheduled for 4:05 p.m. EST.
