The team announced he was being evaluated for a concussion, and he was quickly ruled out.Veteran Carson Wentz, named the No. 2 quarterback last week, replaced Murray and led the Vikings to their first points of the game, a 38-yard field goal. J.J. McCarthy, the Vikings' primary 2025 starter, is the emergency No. 3 quarterback Sunday and can only play if both Murray and Wentz are unavailable.
