Vikings turn to Carson Wentz with Kyler Murray sidelined
Minnesota will start Carson Wentz against Buffalo after coach Kevin O’Connell ruled Kyler Murray out with a strained hamstring. Murray suffered the injury in Sunday’s loss to Detroit and is not expected to go on injured reserve. Wentz has started six games for Minnesota since joining the team and has a 4-3 record in the seven games in which he played, including most of a seventh.
