The young quarterback has had his ups and downs in training camp, but coach Kevin O'Connell seems more excited than concerned.

Everything the Vikings are doing is with Week 1 against the Chicago Bears at the forefront of their mind. Here are more takeaways from Day 10 of training camp: After arguably his best showing of training camp over the weekend, McCarthy had some ups and downs under the lights at the annual night practice.

After the eighth day of camp, it was a quiet day on the injury front. While Justin Jefferson remained out, others continued to work their way back. Will Fries and Christian Darrisaw are back taking first-team reps, and while they may not play next week, that is a significant step forward.
