The Minnesota Vikings wrapped up a week of joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens. Both teams got their licks in, and in the process, both teams, specifically the Vikings, saw what they needed to out of a lot of key starters.
As a result, J.J. McCarthy will start at quarterback for the Vikings. They will not play Kyler Murray, or likely any other key starters for Minnesota. For the Ravens, they are likely in the same boat, which means it will be another chance for the rookies ot make some plays, especially the UDFAs like Jacob Thomas, who is looking to make a strong impression yet again.
Through it all, there will be reps worth watching for fans, as more and more players carve out their roles with the season fast approaching. This is our live
