Kyler Murray impresses as Vikings training camp progresses
Summary

On Day 7 of training camp, Kyler Murray shows dominant form, separating himself in the quarterback race against J.J. McCarthy. Murray connected on deep touchdown passes of 40 and 60 yards, while McCarthy had an inconsistent day despite moments of sharpness. Tai Felton received praise for a 60-yard touchdown reception, and rookie cornerback Chuck Demmings won reps against star receiver Justin Jefferson. The running game appears revamped, with Jordan Mason likely to take on a bigger role over Aaron Jones. Jordan Addison missed practice due to a thumb injury but was cleared by imaging.
