Wentz, Felton spark Vikings as they fall to Ravens in a low-scoring preseason

The Minnesota Vikings lost 13-3 to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2 of the preseason. The defense kept the Ravens from exploiting third downs, but Minnesota’s offense struggled to run (about 3.6 yards per carry). Standouts for the Vikings included Tai Felton, who continued his strong camp and could push for WR3, and Carson Wentz, who went 9-for-11 for 92 yards as the third-string QB. Jacob Thomas added a key fourth-quarter pass breakup, and Kenny Dyson Jr. registered a sack and pressure. J.J. McCarthy had a less efficient showing (5-of-10 for 81 yards), fueling ongoing backup-QB questions as Minnesota evaluates its roster.

McCarthy misfires on TD try, takes a few hits as Vikings evaluate QB2 vs. Ravens

In Minnesota’s preseason matchup with Baltimore, J.J. McCarthy started and went 5-for-10 for 81 yards, missing a sideline target on the first snap and another pass to Myles Price near the end zone. He was sacked once and absorbed multiple hits, and appeared to be wincing on the sideline after his final drive, as Carson Wentz entered in the second quarter and coach Kevin O’Connell kept the door open for a QB2 competition.

McCarthy and Charles Demmings showed notable inconsistencies and mistakes, signaling ongoing roster questions ahead of the preseason.

Vikings Defense Stifles Ravens in Day 2 Joint Practice

Day 2 of Vikings–Ravens joint practices ahead of Saturday’s preseason game saw Minnesota’s defense once again neutralize the Ravens, limiting deep plays and dominating late two-minute drills. Offensively, the Vikings showed gradual progress, with Murray hitting Jefferson and Jennings and engineering a late drive that ended in a 45-yard Will Reichard field goal to win the drill. J.J. McCarthy looked crisper but flirted with a potential pick-six, and Demond Claiborne added a 30-yard TD on the final play of the drive. Standouts on defense included Dallas Turner (multiple sacks) and a group of rising contributors like Caleb Banks, Eric Wilson, and Jay Ward, while Addison remained quiet. Overall, Minnesota appears to be improving on offense while maintaining strong defensive play as training camp continues.

Murray's late strike to Jefferson caps uneven Vikings-Ravens practice

Kyler Murray’s day against Baltimore’s defense was uneven, but his last snap—a left-footed, 40-yard TD to Justin Jefferson—sparked the Vikings and highlighted their big-play potential. The Ravens pressured Murray early and several passes sailed incomplete, underscoring ongoing work in pass protection and rhythm. Minnesota also pushed to improve the run game, with coaches urging more attack mode, while JJ McCarthy had a mixed showing and rookie Demond Claiborne flashed explosiveness before a fumble. Overall, the session showed both the ceiling for big plays and the work still needed to refine the offense.

Vikings Preseason Stock Watch After Giants Win

The Vikings’ first preseason win vs. the Giants kicks off a stock-market style evaluation: UDFA safety Jacob Thomas stood out on defense and special teams, while linemen like Walter Rouse, Ryan Van Demark, and Demond Claiborne flashed versatility and upside. QB reps looked solid for Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz, though other backups such as J.J. McCarthy, Caleb Tiernan, Caleb Banks, and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins showed rough edges. Jamal Adams suffered a season-ending knee injury, further impacting depth, and the club heads into joint practices with the Ravens to continue sorting the roster.

All-22 revisited Giants-Vikings: film can reshape early impressions

All-22 revisited Giants-Vikings: film can reshape early impressions

Ed Valentine re-evaluates the Giants-Vikings preseason via All-22, arguing first impressions can shift after film; across first and second halves he notes McFadden’s missed plays, Tupou’s stoutness, Nic Jones’s kickoff-block issue, Jaxson Dart’s shotgun-snap trouble and sack, Mauigoa’s quiet efficiency, Skattebo’s progress, and Golston’s DE role, then in the second half Brandon Allen’s errors, Fotu’s strong plays, Faalele/Davis being beaten on a sack, and Neal’s average showing; the post emphasizes All-22 can change opinions and that he’s not a scout, planning more film review.

Harbaugh Questions Protection After Dart’s Big Hit in Giants-Vs-Vikings Preseason

Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was checked for a concussion after a big midsection hit in Saturday’s preseason game against the Vikings, with coach John Harbaugh puzzled that the hit occurred given basic protection. The piece also notes a debated late 62-yard field-goal attempt in windy conditions, high praise for rookie Malachi Fields, discussion of Odell Beckham Jr.’s open route, and the Giants’ plan for a padded practice in Miami ahead of their next preseason game.

Vikings QB depth chart heats up as McCarthy fights for No. 2

J.J. McCarthy remains in a competition for Minnesota’s No. 2 quarterback behind the incumbent starter, after a subdued preseason showing (4-for-7 for 34 yards) that failed to separate him from the rival, Carson Wentz, who had a stronger outing (9-for-14 for 81 yards, TD) and earned more snaps after fourth-stringer Max Brosmer was injured. With no clear trade partner and questions about McCarthy’s viability as a future starter, the Vikings will be watching closely to prevent him from slipping to No. 3 on the depth chart.

Jamal Adams’ Vikings Debut Shortened by Season-Ending Knee Injury

Jamal Adams’ 2026 season is over after a right knee injury on his 12th snap in his Minnesota Vikings debut vs. the Giants. The former Seahawks safety had moved to linebacker last year and joined Minnesota as a late camp addition, flashing with a tackle-for-loss before being carted off; coach Kevin O’Connell called the injury “not good.” Adams has a long injury history, and this latest setback casts doubt on his NFL future after years of high-profile moves and recurring injuries.
