Sigh. Of course. No Murray, no Jordan.....Week 2 is looking like a peach. 🙄 Obviously something was up with all the RBs coming in for tryouts.

I have a feeling Murry will play
If he can.....and I think he CAN....he should IMO. But I think they're going to take a week of precaution. Dallas is built like Mason and he's a vet, so he'll probably be ok. Same type of RB.
#Vikings RB Jordan Mason has a small fracture in his thumb and it has been fixed, per coach Kevin O’Connell. He’s on short-term IR but should be back quickly.

Kevin O’Connell makes clear the Vikings haven’t ruled out Kyler Murray for Sunday’s game in Chicago. Likely would need to be medically cleared by Friday for him to play.

He should be ruled out. Its beyond stupid to rush him out. He is 99% sure to take a hit. Let him heal, give it some time, I have seem countless times where a player is rushed back goes back out and now gets his 2nd concussion.

I think if he passes protocol he should play, but I'm reading he's "limited" in practice and if he's not participating in the install or getting 1st team reps against the scout defense in practice, then he might be better off sitting one more week.

limited is much different than the normal concussion protocol return. That means he is cleared for activity which most don't get to until friday from what I recall.
Damn, that blows. Guessing Claiborne will be active this time, and likely get carries before DJD.
