Kyler Murray will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice

There’s some positive news on the injury front for Minnesota’s starting quarterback.

Kyler Murray is set to be a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters in his press conference.

Murray is in concussion protocol after taking a hard hit while sliding early on in Sunday’s victory over the Packers.

“We’ll see how he responds and continue to rely on the medical folks in that regard,” O’Connell said. “The good thing is the amount of reps he got from obviously competing and then being named the starter, he’s got a lot of reps logged away. But, yeah, really we’re taking it kind of period-by-period as far as the plan we have. But we want to be monitoring how he’s doing from a standpoint of that limited participation.

“It’s a little bit more of a vague thing at the quarterback position, just because they’re in red jerseys anyway all the way up until game time. So we’ll kind of just deal with it as it comes to us.”

Murray was on the field for just 11 offensive snaps before exiting the contest. Carson Wentz came in and played the rest of the way, completing 12-of-19 passes for 133 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

Wentz would be in line to start on Sunday against the Bears if Murray does not clear the protocol.
