Vikings Keep McCarthy as Backup QB

Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed that J.J. McCarthy remains the backup quarterback to Kyler Murray, noting that McCarthy has taken all the second-team reps and performed well. "There's been some plays where I've been proud as heck," O'Connell said of McCarthy's practice work.

The Vikings are maintaining competition in their quarterback room, which includes Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer. "We want J.J. feeling like I'm one step away," O'Connell explained, adding that the team will evaluate the situation over the next few weeks before making a final determination on the QB depth chart. fishroad-app.com
