A day before the Vikings' first training camp practice, coach Kevin O'Connell laid out some of the logistics for his plans to hold a quarterback competition between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy.
O'Connell said Murray and McCarthy will rotate between the first- and second-teams during the early part of camp. The split might not be 50-50 on any given day, O'Connell said, but there will be an effort to keep the reps even over time.
"I know we'll be thorough," O'Connell said. "I know both guys will feel like they've got an opportunity to compete."
O'Connell said he has a rough idea of when he would like to arrive at a decision and said he will balance the desire to be "comprehensive" and leaving enough time for the eventual winner to take control of the offense before the season begins.
"There's absolutely a date in mind and subject to what we think is best," he said. "If we feel like we can make the decision before that date, we will. If we feel like we need a little bit more time, we'll take it."
New general manager Nolan Teasley said he will be in position to provide "a different vantage point" but added: ulltimately you want to give your coaching staff that freedom to make that choice."
