Fans will get to see J.J. McCarthy in action at U.S. Bank Stadium in August.
The Vikings' 2024 preseason slate includes one home game and two road contests. The three matchups will allow fans to get their first look at J.J. McCarthy, Dallas Turner, and other young players in game action.
They'll open up at U.S. Bank Stadium on August 10th against the Las Vegas Raiders. It's a 3 p.m. central time game on a Saturday. That game will allow fans to see McCarthy make his NFL debut in person in downtown Minneapolis. It'll be interesting to see if the Vikings and Raiders hold any training camp joint practices at TCO Performance Center leading up to the game on Saturday.
Then the Vikings will go on the road to face the Browns at 3:25 p.m. CT on Saturday, August 17th. A week later, they'll face the Eagles in Philadelphia at 12:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, August 24th. That'll conclude the preseason slate. The Vikings are 0-6 in preseason games under Kevin O'Connell and actually have a ten-game August losing streak that dates back to 2019. Outside of maybe a series or two in the first game, O'Connell doesn't play his starters in the preseason. It's all about development and competition for young players and those on the roster bubble.
