Kyler Murray's debut with the Minnesota Vikings did not go as planned, as he was forced to leave the game early after taking a brutal hit to the head in the club's 39-22 Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers. On Monday, head coach Kevin O'Connell shared an inspiring injury update regarding Murray's status.

O'Connell claimed that the 29-year-old quarterback is showing signs of progressing through the injury, according to Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune. While that may be the case, Murray is still in concussion protocol and the Vikings are going to take things slowly with his recovery.

“Kevin O'Connell said Kyler Murray ‘came in feeling pretty good today,' but is in the concussion protocol,” Goessling reported. “Vikings will defer to the medical staff and take it a day at a time.”
