Minnesota’s defense seized control during the second week of training camp, while neither quarterback is making the competition particularly compelling. Kyler Murray entered camp as the odds-on favorite to become the starter and remains in the lead, according to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert. His path to the final roster remains difficult, but he entered Week 3 with considerably more momentum than he had a week earlier. Veteran Johnny Hekker entered camp with experience firmly on his side, but Thorson is doing everything necessary to make the competition tougher. Loser: Blake BrandelMinnesota entered camp trusting Blake Brandel at center, but several iffy quarterback exchanges and errant shotgun snaps are concerning.
