Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray's debut ended abruptly in the first quarter Sunday against the Green Bay Packers after he suffered a concussion. Murray, who signed a one-year contract in March after seven seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, was briefly motionless on the field following a hit from Packers safety Javon Bullard and having his helmet pulled off by defensive end Lukas Van Ness at the end of a 1-yard scramble. Vikings players immediately signaled for medical assistance.

Murray walked to the locker room after several minutes and was quickly ruled out. Veteran Carson Wentz, named the No. 2 quarterback last week, replaced Murray and led the Vikings to their first points, a 38-yard field goal. J.

J. Mc Carthy, the Vikings' primary 2025 starter, serves as the emergency No. 3 quarterback and can play only if both Murray and Wentz are unavailable.
