Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray will undergo a full evaluation on his "sore" hamstring, head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.

Murray dealt with hamstring tightness at the end of Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Detroit Lions.

"We'll look at it, obviously, and do what we need to do," Murray said postgame, per Seifert.

Muray completed 17 of his 29 passes for 210 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's defeat, which was the Vikings' first loss of the season.

If he's sidelined, Carson Wentz would be called into action. Wentz filled in earlier this year after Murray suffered a concussion. He entered in relief in Week 1 and rallied the team to a comeback victory, and he also won his Week 2 start. Wentz has thrown for three touchdowns to zero interceptions across his two appearances.

The Vikings lead the NFC North at 6-1 and next face the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 9 on Monday Night Football.
