The Minnesota Vikings ruled out quarterback Kyler Murray for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears as he remains in concussion protocol, the team announced Friday.
Carson Wentz will start in Murray's absence, with J.J. McCarthy slated to serve as the second-string quarterback.
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said he anticipates Murray clearing concussion protocol next week, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert.
Wentz led the Vikings to an improbable Week 1 comeback after Murray went down, helping Minnesota score 29 unanswered points to stun the Green Bay Packers, 39-22. Wentz threw three touchdown passes and no interceptions.
Murray suffered a concussion in the first quarter after taking a hit to the head on a 2-yard scramble. He attempted just five passes before the injury, with his first throw getting intercepted.
The Vikings take on a 1-0 Bears team that scored a league-high 59 points in Week 1.
