Vikings List McCarthy as Backup QB

The Minnesota Vikings continue to list J.J. McCarthy as the backup quarterback to Kyler Murray, with coach Kevin O'Connell emphasizing competition in the QB room.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed that McCarthy has taken all the two reps in practice and performed well, though he stressed the importance of maintaining competition throughout the quarterback room. 'I want those guys feeling like they're competing,' O'Connell said.

The Vikings are also considering Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer as part of their QB depth chart. 'We'll see these next couple of weeks play out. We're going to do what's best for our team,' O'Connell added, with final decisions expected soon. forumteam.blog
