Darnold started at quarterback but played just one series on offense in Saturday's preseason win over Las Vegas. He was 4-of-8 passing for 59 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.

Darnold essentially led the Vikings on a scoring drive, but his pass to Jalen Nailor on fourth-and-goal fell incomplete. Darnold playing only one series is likely a sign he's the favorite to begin the season as the starting quarterback. Rookie J.J. McCarthy played most of the game after Darnold left and had a strong performance with two touchdown passes, albeit largely against the second- and third-string defense.
