NFL Catchup: Kyler Murray In Concussion Protocol; Eagles Place Landon Dickerson On IR
Week 1 is in the books, but the injury report is just getting started as several teams spent Monday sorting through the fallout from their openers.
The Philadelphia Eagles lost starting left guard Landon Dickerson to injured reserve after he admitted to playing through pain in Sunday's win over the Washington Commanders.
In Minnesota, Kyler Murray's concussion from Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers has left his Week 2 status very much in doubt.
There was better news elsewhere, though, as running back TreVeyon Henderson looks set to return to practice for the New England Patriots, and Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey appears to have avoided a long-term injury.
Here's the latest from around the NFL on Monday.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray left Sunday's season opener against the Green Bay Packers after taking a violent hit to the head while sliding.
Murray was placed in concussion protocol, leaving his status for Week 2 in serious doubt.
Speaking to reporters Monday afternoon, head coach Kevin O’Connell said Murray remains in concussion protocol.
He had no update on his availability against the Chicago Bears, but said the team will monitor his progress throughout the week.
Murray struggled in his first start in purple and gold, throwing an interception on his opening drive.
He then exited on the third drive after suffering a concussion, and his timeline for a return remains unclear.
If Murray is unable to clear protocol in time, Carson Wentz would seemingly start, with J.J.
McCarthy serving as the backup.
Wentz is coming off a strong performance against the Packers, throwing three touchdowns after stepping in for the injured Murray.
