00:00I'm Taylor Rivera. Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray has been cleared from concussion protocol
00:05for week three. Murray had to sit out last week's rainy win over Chicago
00:10while second string Carson Wentz filled in after Murray was injured in game one against the Green
00:15Bay Packers. Head coach Kevin O'Connell says all signs point to Murray reclaiming his position
00:20just in time for their upcoming clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday. Kyler has
00:25cleared the final phase of the protocol and he's you know he's he's doing great he'll be cleared and
00:31he will start this week. What should Murray take from these two games when it was hard for him to
00:38watch the first game considering the circumstances but I'm sure as the concussion was going through
00:45its steps he did see it and he's cleared now but so what does he take from both these games
00:50as he
00:50tries to apply as the guy who at least has him now is the clear-cut starter? Well I think
00:56I would
00:56take that you have a running game now I don't know if they want to keep that workload with Aaron
01:02Jones
01:02I know K.O. said today that he's pretty sore and they're going to look at that position maybe get
01:07some help with Jordan Mason still out but my colleague been guessing said that on first and
01:12second down Kevin O'Connell's called more runs than any coach in the league this first two games now.
01:19That seems impossible until this year. But yeah until this year some of that obviously yesterday
01:24weather first yeah and week one because of the quarterback situation but he did it but I think
01:31you look at that and you say you know what you got a really good defense you got a really
01:35good kicker
01:36we can run the ball I don't doesn't mean you can't be aggressive doesn't mean you can't take
01:42chances doesn't mean you can't play like Kyler Murray's used to and scrambling and you know trying
01:46to do some things off script sometimes you're surrounded by some good you know pieces and
01:51good things happening around you so it's not like you have to be doing anything extraordinary if
01:56that makes sense right take care of the ball make plays that are there and and trust that you have
02:00a defense if things don't go well your defense is going to hold them and put you in a good
02:04spot
