Vikings Preseason Fallout and Roster Battle | Minnesota Vikings News

Vikings’ preseason ends in a brutal 34-6 loss to the Broncos, exposing anemic offense and quarterback uncertainty as J.J. McCarthy’s ankle woes sideline him, handing Carson Wentz the start — and likely the backup QB job behind Kyler Murray. Max Brosmer showed flashes but missed key throws, fighting for his 53-man roster spot; if McCarthy stays, Brosmer may head to the practice squad. Rookie Dontae Fleming shined with 55 yards, while tight ends Gavin Bartholomew and Marshall Lang each hauled in five passes, and Jermar Jefferson led rushing with 59 yards. Broncos’ third-string QB Sam Ehlinger outperformed expectations. With just 48 hours until final roster cuts, players brace for fate — make the team or move on.
