The Eagles and Vikings will face off Saturday afternoon in both teams' final game of preseason play. While Philadelphia and Minnesota are unbeaten through the first two weeks, each has a different outlook ahead of the regular season, which gets underway next month.
For Minnesota, its newly minted face of the franchise, J.J. McCarthy, suffered a torn meniscus, which will keep him out for the entirety of the regular season. This is a major blow to a Vikings team with former Jets and Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold battling for the starting job with Jaren Hall and current backup Nick Mullins.
Hall will start in Philadelphia in what could be a potentially career-defining game. If he plays well, the probability of him potentially becoming the starter increases, while a declining performance may see him hit the UFA market sooner than anticipated.
The Eagles will rest Jalen Hurts, who struggled mightily down the stretch last season. Ex-Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett will have to perform well to establish his case as the preferred backup.
It is more than just both quarterback rooms that will have much on the line. Like every NFL team, it is trimming its rosters to 53 players. Doing so causes many difficult decisions, and Philadelphia and Minnesota will be on opposite ends of the spectrum.
