Darnold to start in preseason

News summary

The Minnesota Vikings are preparing for their first preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders, with Sam Darnold starting at quarterback over rookie J.J. McCarthy, who will also see significant playing time. Head coach Kevin O'Connell indicated that most healthy players will participate, marking a shift from previous seasons where starters rarely played. Notably absent will be star wide receiver Justin Jefferson and veteran safety Harrison Smith, though Jefferson will provide commentary during the game. The Vikings are looking to end a 10-game preseason losing streak, with a focus on getting new roster members acclimated to the team's systems. In contrast, the Raiders are also in a quarterback battle, deciding between Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell for their starting role. As both teams gear up, the matchup promises to be a critical evaluation period ahead of the regular season.
