Kyler Murray: limited Thursday, still not cleared from protocol

THE FACT. Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray took part in Thursday's practice on a limited basis and has still not been cleared from the concussion protocol, per NBC Sports. The limited tag is a step forward from where he was earlier in the week, but the clearance is the part that decides Sunday.

THE VERDICT. Protocol clearance, not practice reps, is the gate here, and nobody gets cleared on a Thursday afternoon. Redraft: treat Murray as out until the Friday designation says otherwise and have a streaming quarterback already rostered. Dynasty: hold, this is a short-term absence and nothing about his long-term value moves. DFS: fade the Minnesota passing game entirely in cash until the starter is confirmed.
