Sam Darnold has been named the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings as they head into the preseason. Although the depth chart can change, Darnold has been consistently receiving first-team reps throughout training camp. There is some competition from rookie J.J. McCarthy, who is expected to start getting first-team reps later in August, but Darnold's position appears secure for now.

• Sam Darnold is currently the starting QB for the Vikings.
• J.J. McCarthy is expected to challenge for the starting role later in August.
