Kyler Murray Gains Ground in Vikings' QB Competition

Thursday, August 6, 9:16 AM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray turned in one of his best practices of camp Wednesday as he tries to pull ahead of J.J. McCarthy in the starting competition. According to Sports Illustrated, Murray hit Justin Jefferson during one-on-one drills, found Jauan Jennings for a deep touchdown in seven-on-seven work, and connected with a wide-open Tai Felton on a scoring throw of roughly 60 yards during team drills. He later gave Jefferson a chance between two defenders in the two-minute period, and Jefferson came down with the ball for the simulated winning touchdown. Murray also flashed his speed on a scramble after using his legs sparingly earlier in camp. He appeared in only five games for Arizona last season, throwing for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding 173 yards and a score on the ground. Minnesota has not named a starter, but this was the kind of practice Murray needed to strengthen his case.

Dillon Gabriel Making Case for Browns' QB3 Role

Tuesday, August 4, 10:02 AM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel is expected to receive more practice reps after stacking several good days in training camp, according to Cleveland.com. Head coach Todd Monken has narrowed the starting competition to Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders so both can get enough work, leaving Gabriel outside the battle for the No. 1 job. The additional reps should instead give the second-year passer a chance to strengthen his hold on a roster spot and show whether he belongs in the backup conversation. Gabriel appeared in 10 games and made six starts as a rookie, completing 110 of 185 passes for 937 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. He is not expected to work with the first-team offense based on the current rotation, but his recent play has improved his standing in the quarterback room. Gabriel remains off the standard fantasy radar, though he could become relevant in deeper Superflex formats if he earns the backup role.
