Kyler Murray has a sore hamstring, Vikings plan to start him in Week 9 if healthy
Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray said he was dealing with hamstring tightness late in Sunday’s loss to the Lions and his hamstring remains an issue on Monday. Murray did not leave Sunday’s game, but head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters at a press conference that the quarterback is dealing with soreness. Murray will be fully evaluated before the team makes any determination about his status for their Week 9 Monday night game against the Bills. “I don’t think we’re there yet,” O’Connell said. O’Connell did say that the Vikings plan to start Murray against Buffalo as long as he is healthy enough to play. Speculation about a possible change has simmered as the Vikings offense struggled over the course of their 6-0 start and it has picked up in the wake of Minnesota’s first loss of the season, but it doesn’t look like they’ll pull the trigger on any move as long as Murray is cleared to play this week

The Vikings should explore a trade for Daniel Jones
The article suggests the Minnesota Vikings should pursue a trade for quarterback Daniel Jones from the Indianapolis Colts, viewing him as a potential immediate upgrade over Kyler Murray. It notes that the Colts are in a pre-rebuild phase and may look to trade Jones to acquire draft picks, while the Vikings, despite initial interest in Jonathan Taylor, should prioritize Jones for their quarterback needs

Frustrated Justin Jefferson didn't speak to reporters after Sunday's loss
When a team is winning, it’s hard for any offensive players who aren’t getting the ball as often as they should to be upset. When winning becomes losing, the frustrations can quickly surface. That happened for the Vikings on Sunday against the Lions. Receiver Justin Jefferson, who made a spectacular touchdown catch in the first half, didn’t see the ball as often as he should have during proverbial nut-cutting time. After the Vikings’ final drive — which curiously ended on a fourth-and-five punt with 3:01 to play at a time when the Detroit rushing game was clicking — Jefferson made a rare display of frustration. After the 19-15 loss, Jefferson declined to speak to reporters, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN. Which means that Jefferson, who has a habit of always saying all the right things, doubted that he would have been able to do that. “Obviously he’s frustrated, and that’s understandable,” quarterback Kyler Murray told reporters, via Seifert. “He is who he is, and he has every right to the way he feels when he doesn’t get the ball. That’s on us to find a way to get him the ball.” “We had some opportunities for [Jefferson], and there were some chances there,” coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters. “But we’ve got to find a way to get him the ball, especially on potential chances for him on some of those sequences where we’re looking to kick off some momentum. He’s a great guy to do it behind, and we’ll continue to find ways to get him the football. But it was a division game. These guys want to win. I don’t fault the frustration or the competitiveness in any way, shape or form.” Whatever the cause, there’s clearly a problem. And Murray, who missed time early in the season due to a concussion, should be up to speed now. On Sunday, he wasn’t good enough. And here’s the basic reality. At some point, either en route to the playoffs or after the Vikings get there, Murray will have to make a big play in a big spot. The jury is out on whether he will. The Vikings don’t have many options. They could try to make a trade, but who’s out there? They wanted to keep Daniel Jones after the 2024 season; maybe, at this point, the Colts would welcome the chance to move on. If the Raiders had lost to the Jets, Kirk Cousins may have been available for a reunion. With Las Vegas now at 4-4, why would they move him? The other option would be to ride with Carson Wentz, who has shown that he can and will get the ball to Jefferson. However it goes, Sunday’s game exposed the biggest problem with the Vikings. Against teams that can’t be held to 15 points or less, the Vikings may not be able to muster enough points to beat them

Lions hand Vikings first loss of the season, Detroit wins 19-15
The Vikings are undefeated no more. Despite losing several players on defense — including linebacker Jack Campbell — the Lions were able to beat the Vikings 19-15 behind an outstanding performance from running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Gibbs put the Lions ahead with a 30-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. He finished the game with 153 yards on 23 carries, plus two catches for 15 yards. Sione Vaki was also valuable in the run game, taking 11 carries for 65 yards. Goff finished 18-of-25 for 176 yards with a touchdown and an interception. On the other side, Kyler Murray had a middling day, going 17-of-29 for 210 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. His best throws of the day came on a drive in the fourth quarter, with a 51-yard bomb to Jordan Addison leading to an 8-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Hockenson. But Murray was also the team’s leading rusher with 35 yards on four attempts, signaling the ineffectiveness of the run game. Murray and the Vikings’ offense continued to struggle to get the ball to Justin Jefferson, who had just five catches for 33 yards with a touchdown on nine targets. The Fox broadcast showed Jefferson expressing some frustration on the sideline toward the end of the game. Of the several injuries suffered by the Lions’ defense, linebacker Jack Campbell’s was the most concerning. Campbell was taken off the field immobilized on a backboard and transported to a local hospital to evaluate a neck injury after going down in the second half. With the win, the Lions improve to 5-2 after consecutive divisional wins. The club will be on the road to face the Dolphins in Week 9. Minnesota falls to 6-1 with its first loss of the season. The Vikings will be at home to face the Bills on Monday night next week

Jauan Jennings declined trade to return to 49ers after Vikings had framework set, per report
The 2026 NFL trade deadline has already been a dramatic one, as the Seattle Seahawks acquired an eight-time Pro Bowl offensive guard in Quenton Nelson , the Chicago Bears gave up two first-round picks for Tennessee Titans All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons , and the Houston Texans reunited C.J. Stroud with Marvin Harrison Jr . This week, we also saw a player decline to be moved! According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports , the Minnesota Vikings had a trade worked out that would send wide receiver Jauan Jennings back to the San Francisco 49ers . All Jennings had to do was hop on a FaceTime call with head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch and agree to return. However, Jennings declined, as he wants to stay in Minnesota! Jennings would rather stick with the undefeated Vikings, even if he's not a major part of Kyler Murray's passing attack. While Jennings has played 70.5% of offensive snaps this season, he's caught just FOUR passes for 43 yards in five games played. In five seasons with the 49ers, Jennings caught 210 passes for 2,581 yards and 22 touchdowns. He eventually became one of the most-trusted weapons for Brock Purdy , recording a career-high 975 yards receiving in 2024, and then a career-high nine touchdown receptions in 2025. Jennings ranked second on the team in receptions and receiving yards over the last two seasons, behind tight end George Kittle , and was tied with Kittle for the most receiving touchdowns over the past two seasons with 15. Jennings had more receptions (47) and receiving yards (546) on third down than any other 49er over the past two years, and led the team in red-zone targets, fourth-quarter targets and third-down targets. Jennings found himself in a contract dispute last summer, and even requested a trade out of San Francisco at one point. Eventually, he agreed to a modified deal based on incentives . After another impressive season in 2025, the former seventh-round pick out of Tennessee hit free agency expecting a payday. However, the market simply wasn't there, and Jennings agreed to a one-year deal with Minnesota worth up to $13 million. The 49ers could have used Jennings, as their wide receiver room is banged up right now with Mike Evans dealing with rib and Achilles ailments and Deebo Samuel sidelined by a hamstring injury. However, Jennings wanted to remain in the NFC North

NFL's 'scariest' good, bad teams: Why Seahawks strike fear, Titans fans should be terrified
As the NFL season approaches its halfway point, the article identifies the 'scariest' teams, categorizing them as 'scary good' or 'scary bad.' The Seattle Seahawks are highlighted as a 'scary good' team, with their defense, dubbed the 'Dark Side,' being particularly formidable, featuring players like Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy, Nick Emmanwori, and Devon Witherspoon. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is noted as a significant offensive threat. The Minnesota Vikings' defense under Brian Flores is described as 'terrifying,' with a high blitz rate and strong sack performance, complemented by Justin Jefferson's big-play ability on offense. The article suggests that with Kyler Murray at quarterback, the Vikings could become 'frighteningly good.'

CeeDee Lamb on Cardinals' dominance over Cowboys: It's crazy
The Cardinals, no matter how bad they have been, have had the Cowboys’ number. Arizona has won four in a row against the Cowboys and eight of the past nine. In 2025, the Cardinals beat the Cowboys 27-17 at AT&T Stadium before losing their final nine. Jacoby Brissett is 3-16 in his two seasons in Arizona, including the win over the Cowboys. Dallas’ last win over the Cardinals came on Sept. 25, 2017, in Glendale, a 28-17 win. “Yeah, it’s just crazy ,” wide receiver CeeDee Lamb said of the Cardinals’ dominance over the Cowboys, via Patrik Walker of the team website. "[We were] being very, very relaxed, and they punched us in the mouth every single time. They’ve always had more energy. They were more excited, regardless of if it was a 12 o’clock, Sunday night or Monday night. “We’ve played them in primetime. They beat us there. So, we need to treat them as if they are a Super Bowl-contending team, which they may be. You know what I’m saying? Hats off to them in their prep, and we just got to go match them, if not overpower that.” The Cardinals are 4-0 at AT&T Stadium, which is where Sunday’s game is being played. Two of those wins came with quarterback Kyler Murray as the starter. Murray is 9-0 in his career at the stadium in high school, college and the NFL
