Vikings First Pre-Season Game Saturday

Minnesota Vikings’ fans will get to see quarterback J-J McCarthy in game action later this week. Head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters prior to last night’s training camp practice that McCarthy will start Saturday’s exhibition game against the Houston Texans. McCarthy suffered a season-ending knee injury during last year’s preseason opener. Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell says this week’s preseason game is something they want to perform well in.

The Vikes held their annual night practice last night at team headquarters in front of a full house at T-C-O Stadium. Saturday’s game gets underway at 3 P-M at U-S Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis. Coverage begins at 2pm on SAM 107.3.
