Vikings to start Wentz at QB against Bills after Murray ruled out

Minnesota will start Carson Wentz against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night because Kyler Murray is out with a hamstring strain suffered in the loss to Detroit. Coach Kevin O’Connell said Murray’s recovery will be evaluated week to week, the team is not considering injured reserve, and it hopes he could return for the Nov. 15 game against Green Bay. O’Connell said playing Murray now could worsen the injury and has not announced a permanent quarterback change; Murray remains the starter when healthy. Max Brosmer will back up Wentz, who is making his second start of the season and has thrown for 276 yards and three touchdowns. Wentz has helped Minnesota win two games this season, as the Vikings look to revive an offense that has struggled for consistency; both teams enter the game at 6-1.
