Practice squad quarterback who may be signed to Vikings' 53-man roster if Kyler Murray is unavailable for Chicago game. NFL rules require the emergency third quarterback to be on the 53-man roster, not an elevated practice squad player; if signed, Brosmer would force Vikings to release or waive another player from main roster, creating roster constraints.

Max Brosmer is currently on the Minnesota Vikings practice squad. If Kyler Murray is unable to play against Chicago and the Vikings want three quarterbacks on the active roster, they would need to sign Brosmer from the practice squad by releasing or waiving another player from the main roster, as emergency quarterbacks must be on the 53-man roster and cannot be elevated from the practice squad.

The source characterizes Brosmer's performance as emblematic of the Vikings' worst regular-season quarterback play, citing a game against Detroit where he completed 9 passes for 51 yards while taking 7 sacks for 48 yards, yet the Vikings still won; this context establishes the Vikings' defensive dominance under Brian Flores as the primary driver of their 9-8 record rather than offensive competence.

Brosmer, last year's UDFA, earned QB3 over Brett Rypien and may see almost the entire game Friday against Denver. However, his roster future is contingent on McCarthy's departure: 'The only way he's on the roster is if J.J. McCarthy's gone.' If McCarthy stays, Brosmer is fighting for a practice-squad tape dump.

Brosmer has seen action as the Vikings' QB4 in the preseason and appears to be the odd man out unless Minnesota finds significant trade value for JJ McCarthy. He played in the second half of Minnesota's week 2 preseason game, going 11/17 for 98 yards with an interception. He will likely play a majority of the third game in Denver on Friday night but will likely be cut. While it's possible a different team could sign him before the Vikings add him to the practice squad, it's not likely. His 53-man roster probability is 4% and practice squad probability is 90%.

In the fourth quarter, Brosmer completed a pass to Jones to convert a first down but later threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-3 from the Baltimore 44-yard line, turning the ball over on downs. Brosmer's final pass of the game was intended for Terrill Davis and was intercepted by Silas Walters inside the 20-yard line.
