From the video

Maybe JJ McCarthy is starting by week five. I don't think that's going to happen, but they are rotating first team snaps right now.

Competing with Kyler Murray for Vikings starting job; rotating first-team snaps in camp.

McCarthy faces competition from newly acquired Kyler Murray for the Vikings starting QB job, currently rotating first-team snaps with Murray in training camp. Ian Hartitz does not expect McCarthy to lose the job by week five, but acknowledges the uncertainty and possibility that McCarthy could start if Murray underperforms.
