| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here, and we have a lot to discuss tonight. |
| 0:13.7 | So for the next hour, we're going to go over everything in Viking land here that we heard from Kevin O'Connell and of course have a lot of discussion |
| 0:22.0 | about the quarterback situation. And then Brian Murphy and Manny Hill will join for a roundtable at |
| 0:29.3 | 730 and we'll get their breakdown of this game and expectations going forward for the Minnesota |

| 1:32.8 | Because I don't think any of us thought that J.J. McCarthy was going to start against the Steelers in Dublin. |
| 1:38.0 | So he's not. |
| 1:38.6 | It's going to be Carson Wentz. |
| 1:40.6 | And clearly they are taking it slow from a physical perspective with McCarthy. |
| 1:45.0 | But the biggest news that Kevin O'Connell dropped on us today was that Donovan Jackson |
| 1:49.7 | has a wrist injury. |
