Murray starts 2026 season; McCarthy positioned to take over mid-year.

Kyler Murray is projected to start the 2026 season for the Vikings in the quarterback competition with J.J. McCarthy. Drew Bunting expects Murray to begin the year as the starter, though he anticipates McCarthy will enter the game during the season and perform well, suggesting Murray's role is as the opening-day starter with potential for reduced playing time if injury occurs.
