The Vikings are getting their QB1 back. Kyler Murray has cleared concussion protocol and will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Buccaneers.
Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero): Vikings QB Kyler Murray has cleared concussion protocol and will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Bucs, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
Murray's clearance was the expected next step after head coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed Monday that the signal-caller had passed all protocol requirements. The return restores the mobility and playmaking that anchor the Vikings' attack, a boost for a club that has opened the season with division wins over the Bears and Packers.
With Murray back, Minnesota heads into the Week 3 matchup at full strength under center, looking to extend its perfect start against a Tampa Bay defense that has been aggressive early in the season.
