Murray Ruled Out of Vikings Debut After First-Quarter Head-and-Neck Hit

Kyler Murray’s Minnesota Vikings debut ended in the first quarter after he took a head-and-neck hit from Green Bay Packers safety Javon Bullard while sliding during a scramble. Murray remained on the field briefly, then walked under his own power to the locker room for evaluation, with the Vikings initially saying he was being assessed for a concussion. He was later ruled out for the remainder of the game, and backup Carson Wentz replaced him, while J.J. McCarthy was listed as the emergency quarterback. Green Bay was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play. Murray completed 3 of 5 passes for 18 yards and ran for nine yards before leaving.
