The Minnesota Vikings are rolling into the 2026 season with Kyler Murray as their new QB1 , and Kevin O’Connell and company are hoping that Murray can rejuvenate a passing game that was hard to watch at times this season.

Vikings' Kevin O'Connell says the backup QB competition remains open, leaving JJ McCarthy's status behind Kyler Murray uncertain.

Ravens center Danny Pinter, who has been getting almost all of the reps with the first team, was carted off the field during practice.

The Minnesota Vikings went into training camp with one of the most important questions heading into the 2026 season. Unlike most teams, the Vikings and head coach Kevin O’Connell had to figure out who their starting quarterback would be for the upcoming season.

A source told CBS Sports that J.J. McCarthy was seen as "unpredictable" within the Minnesota Vikings, factoring into the quick decision to name Kyler Murray starter.

Five Vikings players—including WR Myles Price—are thriving heading into the 2026 NFL season, and their hard work has them soaring up the depth chart.
