Kyler Murray News
Sunday, September 13, 1:22 PM
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Green Bay Packers. Murray initially exited in the first quarter, entered concussion protocol, and was listed as questionable. The fact that he was downgraded to out doesn't necessarily mean that he has been diagnosed with a concussion, but at the very least, he remains in protocol and won't be able to return. The veteran quarterback, playing in his first game as a Viking, was on the receiving end of an ugly hit from Packers safety Javon Bullard. The hit caused the quarterback's helmet to come off, drew a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty, and required Murray to receive medical attention on the field. He finishes his Vikings debut 3-for-5 passing with 18 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. Carson Wentz will operate as the Vikings' quarterback for the remainder of Week 1. If Wentz suffers an injury, the emergency third quarterback would be J.J. McCarthy.

Justin Herbert News
Sunday, September 13, 7:33 PM
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert went 17-for-27 for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his team's shocking 26-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Herbert also had five carries for 29 rushing yards. The 28-year-old disappointed in the season opener, producing under 15 fantasy points, and will likely finish outside the top 20 scoring quarterbacks in Week 1. Herbert and the Chargers cut the lead to two late in the third quarter after finding Ladd McConkey on an eight-yard touchdown. However, the game spiraled for the Chargers after a punt was blocked and Herbert threw an interception late. Herbert will hope to bounce back at home in a favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2.
