Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers wrote on social media that he received “some of the most racist comments I ever seen or read since I entered the league.”

Coach Kevin O’Connell is still not ready to name the Vikings’ starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Eagles. But J.J. McCarthy says his injured ankle is "not 100 percent."

Looking at the film from the Vikings' two games in Europe shows four ways they can establish their identity after their bye week.

J.J. McCarthy practiced for the first time since suffering a sprained right ankle on Sept. 14, but Vikings Kevin O’Connell did not name a starting quarterback for Sunday’s game.

Blake Cashman, J.J. McCarthy, Brian O’Neill and Michael Jurgens returned Monday after the bye week, positive developments amid the team’s onslaught of injuries.

The Vikings were 25 seconds away from coming up empty on their European trip. “We couldn’t go home on that plane 0-2,” Justin Jefferson said.

The Vikings’ starting left tackle sat out the fourth quarter after reaching a planned playing time limit, leaving the team with four backups on the O-line by game’s end.

Playing behind an offensive line with four backups by the end of the game, Vikings QB Carson Wentz beat the Browns in London with a 10-play, 80-yard touchdown drive in the the closing minutes.

The projected starters have not been together for one snap through four games, and backups will lead the way in London.

After failing to stop Pittsburgh's Aaron Rodgers and Kenneth Gainwell last week, the Vikings know they need to be more disciplined against the Cleveland rookie duo of quarterback Dillon Gabriel and running back Quinshon Judkins.
