The Minnesota Vikings' quarterback battle is anticipated to last deep into training camp and potentially through the preseason. Following a disappointing performance by last season's starters, the Vikings signed Kyler Murray to a one-year contract. Insider Ian Rapoport indicated that the competition between Murray and J.J. McCarthy will continue right up to the season's start, implying no immediate decision will be made on the starting job.
