Article'We want an elevator': As Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy split first-team reps,...July 28, 2026

From the article

Both Kyler & J.J. will take reps with the first team. They'll also take reps with the second group & I think that gives different layers to the evaluation as well.

McCarthy splitting first-team reps with Murray; gap to widen based on performance.

McCarthy will split first-team reps with Kyler Murray during Vikings training camp, with the gap between them widening over camp based on practice structure and defensive coordinator Brian Flores' schemes. Head coach Kevin O'Connell plans to split reps within practice rather than alternate days, with both quarterbacks also taking second-team work to evaluate performance against less-advanced competition.
