The Vikings are keeping J.J. McCarthy as the backup QB behind Kyler Murray, but it’s far from settled — they’re building a fierce quarterback competition to push everyone to elite levels. With Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer in the mix, McCarthy is being treated like the starter-in-waiting, preparing as if he’s always one snap away from the job. His preseason debut against the Giants showed flashes of promise — 4-of-7 for 34 yards, though no points scored — and the team is watching closely as the final preseason games unfold. The goal? Keep every QB sharp, ready, and hungry — because in this room, the best player wins.
