Vikings Keep McCarthy as QB Backup

The Vikings have continued to list J.J. McCarthy as the backup quarterback to Kyler Murray, with coach Kevin O'Connell emphasizing the need for competition in the QB room.

Coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed that McCarthy has been taking all the two reps in practice and has performed well. 'There's been some plays where I've been proud as heck,' O'Connell said, adding that he wants all quarterbacks feeling like they're competing. ipl-cricket.in

The Vikings want Carson Wentz to feel consistent in his abilities while McCarthy prepares as if he's one step away from being the starter. 'We'll see these next couple of weeks play out. We're going to do what's best for our team,' O'Connell concluded.
