Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray is dealing with an injury after the team suffered its first loss of the season.
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell revealed that Murray is dealing with a sore hamstring. The injury occurred at the end of the game against the Lions on Sunday as Murray's hamstring began to tighten up.
"It's sore today. So we're going through a full eval of that as we work through the day," O'Connell said, per ESPN's Kevin Seifert.

Seifert asked O'Connell whether the hamstring could affect Murray's availability for the upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills. O'Connell said he doesn't think "we're there yet" when it comes to having an answer to that question. O'Connell also said that if Murray is healthy, he will start against the Bills on Monday night.

Kyler Murray Missed a Game Earlier This Season
The Vikings lost to the Lions on Sunday, and Murray finished 17-of-29 passing for 210 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He also led the Vikings in rushing yards with 35 on four carries.
This isn't the first time Murray has dealt with an injury this year. In the season-opener, Murray suffered a concussion and missed the Week 2 matchup. Carson Wentz took over and led the Vikings to wins over the Packers and Chicago Bears.
"Yeah, you couldn't draw it up any worse probably," Murray said in September about the injury, per Rob Kleifield of Vikings.com. "Unfortunate chain of events, and I didn't get to turn it around. I felt great that day. Obviously, you have the turnover, and then you get knocked out of the game, but I trust in God. I trust everything happens for a reason. I'm blessed [and] I'm healthy."
