EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings are continuing their 2026 preseason slate by hosting the Baltimore Ravens at noon (CT) Saturday, Aug. 22.
This contest follows joint practices between the teams on Wednesday and Thursday at Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center and is the lone exhibition contest this season at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The teams prioritized maximizing practice reps for starters vs. starters, so it is unlikely that many, if any, first-teamers will play in the game.
Head Coach Kevin O'Connell said QB Kyler Murray will not play in the game and that J.J. McCarthy is likely to start.
