Hey, you know,

Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here.

And the show is always presented by Fandul.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

I am incredibly grateful and thankful on this day to all of those who listen

to the show or watch the show or support the newsletter, Purpleinsider.com football.

Make sure you go check that out. There's going to be a little Black Friday deal over there on

Friday. So check out Purpleinsider.com football. We got some notes about the Vikings.

We got some Thanksgiving reactions, five questions from Vikings fans who have emailed or

direct message me and I haven't gotten to it yet.

And also, Manny Hill does not take a day off from picking the schedule no matter

the holiday.

So he is coming up shortly as well.

Let's begin with the Vikings notes.

Desmond Ritter signed to the practice squad, which more or less confirms that

J.J. McCarthy will not be playing for the Vikings on Sunday.

They needed an emergency quarterback, and Desmond Ritter was also here earlier this

year.

John Wolford, though, will very, very likely be the backup quarterback.

McCarthy was limited again in practice on Thursday.

Again, all signs have pointed for days to Max Brosmer being the guy this week.

But he may be short a couple of offensive linemen, Donovan Jackson and Christian Darrasaw still did not practice on Thursday, which makes it very much up in the air if those guys can play on Sunday.
