Decisions loom for the Vikings
Why you should care:
After the Vikings and Broncos play Friday night, head coach Kevin O’Connell and company will have decisions to make for the initial 53-man roster. A majority of players who see the field Friday are unlikely to make the roster.
The big decision is the No. 2 quarterback spot, which is currently held by J.J. McCarthy. But has he done enough to earn it, or is Carson Wentz making a late push? After the preseason concludes, 16 days separate the Vikings from hosting the Green Bay Packers for Week 1 at U.S. Bank Stadium.
