With Kyler Murray being named the starter, the team did not utilize him or any other key players in their second preseason game. Still, the team is trying to get their ducks in a row as it relates to the rest of the roster as they get close to cutdown day.
The final test on the schedule for everyone on the roster is Friday's preseason finale against the Denver Broncos.
The Broncos come into this game with some unique battles going on within their roster, with not many starters expected to play much, if at all. The same goes for the Vikings, so for many of these players, fans will watch this could be the last football they play in a while.
Thus is the preseason, though, and this is our preview.
