Kyler Murray clears concussion protocol, will start for Vikings vs. Buccaneers

Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray has cleared concussion protocol and will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Buccaneers

The Vikings are getting their QB1 back. Kyler Murray has cleared concussion protocol and will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Buccaneers.

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.
