Vikings' 2026 Schedule Signals Midseason Test, Early Bye, and Home-Heavy Finish

The Vikings’ 2026 slate opens against playoff-caliber foes (Bears, Packers, Buccaneers) with two on the road and requires a strong offensive start; they also get an early Week 6 bye after a string of winnable games (Dolphins, Saints, Colts). The toughest stretch comes Weeks 8–11 with Lions, Bills, Packers, and 49ers. Primetime action is down to four national games, split between home and road. The finale leans home-heavy, with five of the last seven games at U.S. Bank Stadium, including dates versus Falcons, Panthers, Lions, and Commanders before a final road trip to the Jets and a home finale against the Bears.

Cooper Rush Gets Vikings Look at Rookie Mini-Camp

Cooper Rush was invited to Minnesota’s rookie minicamp as a potential quarterback depth option, joining a crowded Vikings QB room that includes J.J. McCarthy, Kyler Murray, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer. Rush, a former Cowboys backup who started 9 of 14 games, signed with the Ravens but had a rough 2025 season (34-of-52 for 303 yards, 0 TD, 4 INT, 48.8 rating, 26.3 QBR) before being released, making a contract unlikely despite the tryout.

Vikings Target Bills Executive Terrance Gray for GM Role

Vikings Target Bills Executive Terrance Gray for GM Role

The Minnesota Vikings have requested an interview with Buffalo Bills assistant GM Terrance Gray as they search for a new GM. Gray, who spent 11 years in Minnesota as a scout before moving to Buffalo (director of college scouting, then director of player personnel, and assistant GM since May 2025), would be the first candidate interviewed, with interim GM Rob Brzezinski also in the mix. If he’s hired, Buffalo would receive compensatory third-round picks in the 2027 and 2028 drafts under JC-2A. This would mark the fourth Bills assistant GM hired away during Brandon Beane’s tenure; Gray has previously interviewed for the Chargers’ 2024 GM job and the Titans’ GM role last year.
