It’s time for one last preseason game this year. The Vikings are in Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in the preseason finale for both teams.
With roster cutdown day coming on Tuesday, this is a big final opportunity for players on the bubble to make a strong impression on the coaching staff and front office. You’ll see basically zero starters in this game, which is all about young players and third or fourth-stringers trying to make the 53-man roster or practice squad.
Jaren Hall will get the start at quarterback for the Vikings after throwing a pair of touchdown passes in last weekend’s win in Cleveland. At some point, Matt Corral will take over and play the rest of the way for Minnesota. We should also see plenty of safety Lewis Cine, whose excellent game against the Browns was the main story of that victory.
Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell will join the radio/TV broadcast for the entire third quarter.
