Overview
- During the second half Murray led an 84-yard, seven-play touchdown drive before leaving the field for more than four minutes for evaluation in the Vikings’ sideline medical tent.
- Reporters observed Murray emerge from the tent with tape on his non-throwing arm and then return to the game for Minnesota’s next possession.
- Head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters the issue was hamstring tightness and not an upper-body injury, and he said Murray was able to return late in the contest.
- After returning Murray was unable to move the offense and the Vikings went three-and-out, a sequence that coincided with Minnesota’s first loss of the season.
- The team has not released detailed medical findings or a recovery timetable, so staff will monitor Murray and perform further testing before deciding his short-term availability.
