Kyler Murray Injury Update, New NFL Rumors on Vikings QB's Return Timeline After Kirk Cousins Trade

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray is still "a couple of weeks away" from returning from his Grade 2 hamstring strain, NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday.

The 29-year-old quarterback could be targeting Minnesota's Week 12 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons for his potential return, according to Pelissero.

Murray's absence doesn't seem as urgent after the Vikings acquired Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a third-round draft pick. If Cousins misses time, the team will have to turn to Carson Wentz, who is serving as the backup in Murray's absence.
