McCarthy lost QB1 competition; preseason showed no progress from prior year.

McCarthy lost the QB1 competition to Kyler Murray after initially receiving 50% of first-team reps; reps shifted toward Murray within ten days, and Murray was named starter following a night training camp practice. McCarthy's preseason performance showed no improvement from 2025, with continued inaccuracy and one-speed passing issues, leading to speculation about his QB2 status.
