Carson Wentz will be the starting quarterback for the Vikings in Week 2.
Head coach Kevin OâÂÂConnell announced that Wentz will be under center against the Bears at the start of his Friday press conference. OâÂÂConnell said that Kyler Murray has made good progress in the concussion protocol, but that he has been ruled out after three limited practices.
OâÂÂConnell added that he expects Murray to clear the protocol next week. J.J. McCarthy will be active as the No. 2 quarterback after serving as the emergency third quarterback for the Week 1 win over the Packers.
Right tackle Brian OâÂÂNeil (knee) returned to practice on Friday and OâÂÂConnell said that he will be listed as questionable for SundayâÂÂs game. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings missed his third straight practice while attending to a personal matter and has been ruled out for this week.
