Carson Wentz will start as quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings against the Chicago Bears, as Kyler Murray remains in the NFL concussion protocol following an illegal hit in his debut game for the Vikings. Despite participating in practice, Murray was unable to progress enough to play this week but is expected to return for the game against Tampa Bay on September 27. Wentz, who stepped in for Murray, led the team to a 39-22 victory over Green Bay with three touchdown passes. J.J. McCarthy will serve as the backup quarterback. Additionally, wide receiver Jajuan Jennings is out due to a personal matter, right tackle Brian O’Neill is questionable with a knee injury, and running back Jordan Mason will miss at least four games with a broken thumb.
QUESTION: How might the absence of key players like Kyler Murray and Jajuan Jennings impact the Vikings’ performance in upcoming games?
