Kyler Murray is set to return to the starting lineup.

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters in his Monday press conference that Murray has cleared concussion protocol and is on schedule to play in the team’s matchup with the Buccaneers.

“Kyler has cleared the final phase of the protocol,” O’Connell said. “He’s doing great, he’ll be cleared, and he will start this week against Tampa Bay.”

Murray went down early in the Week 1 win over the Packers when he was hit while trying to slide on a scramble. He departed that contest having completed 3-of-5 passes for 18 yards with an interception, the story said. Wentz replaced Murray for the last two weeks and was 11-of-20 for 143 yards in Sunday’s victory over the Bears. Despite leading the team to two wins, Murray will be back as the starter over Wentz, who returns to his backup role.
