The Vikings have named McCarthy's teammate Kyler Murray as their starting quarterback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
McCarthy, who the Vikings selected 10th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, missed his entire rookie campaign due to injury and started just 10 games last year, with the team winning six of them. With Murray now having been named the starter ahead of Minnesota's preseason slate, McCarthy is slated to serve as the team's No. 2 signal-caller, with Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer rounding out the current depth chart.
