All eyes are fixed on an intriguing quarterback battle as the Vikings enter the 2026 preseason.

Free-agent addition Kyler Murray enters camp as the heavy favorite to claim the Week 1 starting job, bringing high-level arm talent into Kevin O’Connell’s complex offensive system.

Meanwhile, 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy is fighting for his future with the franchise after logging just 10 starts in his career.

Justin Jefferson remains the focal point of the passing attack, but how quickly Murray masters the offense will dictate the team’s early success. The team also added Jauan Jennings on offense alongside fellow wideout Jordan Addison and running backs Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones.

The Vikings drafted interior defensive lineman Caleb Banks for Brian Flores’ defense. He joins a veteran-laden group with key players like linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel and safety Josh Metellus.
