The Vikings’ stay in Cleveland, which included a pair of joint practices this week, is about to wrap up with a Week 2 preseason contest against the Browns on Saturday afternoon. Follow along here for updates.

Rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy was the breakout star of last weekend’s preseason opener, but he suffered a torn meniscus in that game and underwent season-ending surgery on Wednesday. Vikings fans will have to wait until next year’s preseason to see McCarthy in game action again.

Starter Sam Darnold isn’t going to play in this game either, which means the Vikings’ quarterbacks will be Nick Mullens, Jaren Hall, and perhaps Matt Corral, who they just signed on Friday. It’s unclear if Corral will be up to speed enough to play in Cleveland or if his Minnesota debut will come next Saturday in Philadelphia.

This second preseason game is a big one for the Vikings’ young players and everyone who is fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster when cuts are made on August 27. There’s still one more week of training camp and one final preseason contest, but this is a huge opportunity for players on the roster bubble to stand out and make their case.

We’ll have live updates throughout the afternoon posted below.
