What to keep an eye on as the Vikings open organized team activities
Vikings begin OTAs with focus on building chemistry between quarterbacks Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy and evaluating new roster additions.
- On Wednesday, the Vikings opened organized team activities with quarterbacks Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy in attendance at TCO Performance Center, with a public workout scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
- After players returned to the Twin Cities over the past month, the Vikings were finally cleared to hold organized team activities, which lead to the mandatory minicamp June 9-11.
- Murray worked privately with quarterbacks coach John Beck in Southern California to refine his technique and consistency; every throw he makes this week will be analyzed under a microscope as he builds chemistry with new teammates.
- Dallas Turner now has a clear path to earn a starting role, though live contact restrictions in OTAs will make it difficult to gauge his defensive development; free agent cornerback James Pierre gets his first impression opportunity.
- The Vikings face major defensive holes after trading edge rusher Jonathan Greenard to Philadelphia and preparing for Harrison Smith's eventual departure at safety, with 2026 draft picks Jake Golday, Domonique Orange, Max Bredeson and Demond Claiborne expected to contribute immediately despite first-rounder Caleb Banks' broken foot.
