Vikings QB Sam Darnold will get majority of first-team reps at training camp

The Minnesota Vikings have made a decision on their QB1 to start training camp.

On Monday, head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters his thoughts on the quarterback situation for his team.

"I have no preconceived, pre-set chart depth chart in my mind,” O’Connell said. “I said at the end of spring that Sam [Darnold] was the No. 1 quarterback."

JJ McCarthy, who was drafted by the Vikings at No. 10 overall in April, is also expected to get reps with the starters, per The Athletic’s Alec Lewis. Darnold, however, is the starter until further notice.
