How to watch the Minnesota Vikings preseason finale against Denver Broncos with full TV info, kickoff time, and viewing options
The Minnesota Vikings enter their preseason finale against the Denver Broncos will showcase the next wave of practice squad players.
The Minnesota Vikings are 1-1 in the preseason as they head to the Mile High City to take on the Denver Broncos.
There was a great week of joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens, and it culminated with a brutal preseason game, where the Vikings lost 13-3. J.J. McCarthy got the start and struggled on the day, and that was a theme for the entire team.
We know that the Vikings won’t be playing multiple players during the game, and it shouldn’t be much of a surprise. The final preseason game is one that focuses on players who are on the bubble and will make the practice squad. These will be the key players on special teams, which often decides who makes and wins the Super Bowl. Here’s how you can watch the game on Friday.

3 things to watch for on Friday night
- How much will McCarthy end up playing on Friday? He is currently dealing with an ankle injury which leaves his status up in the air. If he doesn’t play, but is healthy enough to play, that could be a signal about his future with the franchise.
- There are a few players on the bubble that need this game to secure their spot on the roster. It especially holds true at the linebacker position with Ivan Pace Jr., Jacob Roberts, and Bangally Kamara trying to get a spot on the final 53-man roster.
- The punter battle was decided last season in the final preseason game, with Ryan Wright beating out Oscar Chapman. The same is likely to happen with Johnny Hekker and Brett Thorson.
