Murray is the starting quarterback the minute the Vikings signed him. It's all about his job to lose, if he happens to turn out to be a flop and JJ comes in and tears the field up is the only way JJ will start.

Or an injury to Kyler...

I dont see much good happening for the offense by keeping the competition going much longer...

QB1 needs > reps on-going.

Which is more probable.

Well, whoever is QB2 will have more reps than just about any QB2 in the league.

Which would probably lead to an eventual Wince sighting.

I dont know what the # switch means, if anything...

But I expected Adams to play LB/S/Hybrid this year. So not surprised he is practicing with the back end guys this camp.

I think everyone knows Murray will be the starter. Polymarket betting odds:

Kyler Murray 92%

J.J. McCarthy 6%

Carson Wentz <1%

Max Brosmer <1%

Yeah, it was kind of a “huh” moment. Could just be personal preference.

Update on Adams

Jamal Adams sported a new number, 32, after donning 54 in his first seven Vikings practices.

The 30-year-old defender probably feels a little bit more at home in it after rocking 33 on the Jets and Seahawks (and Titans and Raiders). Adams likely also felt more himself as he moved all around Minnesota's defense.

Adams is listed as a linebacker on the roster and was just that to begin his Vikings tenure, playing alongside the likes of Blake Cashman, Eric Wilson and Ivan Pace, Jr. On Friday, however, Adams got more exposure to Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores' creativity and played in the box, over the slot and as one of two deep safeties next to Joshua Metellus. It's worth noting that safety Jay Ward did not practice, and rookie Jakobe Thomas did not participate in team drills. Nevertheless, it was neat to see Adams patrolling several areas.

Due to Adams changing his number, OLB Chaz Chambliss switched to 57, which he wore in 2025.

Probably just a preference thing for him.

Go for it on 4th down? Punt? Field goal?
