Now that the Minnesota Vikings have opened training camp, all of the attention is on the quarterback competition between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy. The Vikings signed Murray to a one-year contract in March after he was released by the Arizona Cardinals. McCarthy is coming off a difficult 2025 season after missing his entire rookie campaign due to a torn meniscus. Murray was limited to five starts with the Cardinals last season due to a foot injury. He threw for 962 yards, six touchdowns, three interceptions and completed 68.3 percent of his attempts in those games.
