The Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles will wrap up their preseason preparations on Saturday afternoon when they face off at Lincoln Financial Field.
It's been an interesting offseason for both teams, but mainly for the Vikings, who saw Kirk Cousins leave in free agency to sign with the Atlanta Falcons. That meant the Vikings had to look at the draft to bring a new quarterback on board. That man turned out to be J.J. McCarthy, but the national championship winner's season was cruelly cut short when he suffered a knee injury earlier this month.
With both teams set to focus on a variety of factors to hone in their final preseason outing, here's everything you need to know about coverage from Philadelphia.

Is Jalen Hurts playing today vs. Vikings?
Jalen Hurts will not suit up for the Eagles' final preseason game on Saturday afternoon. Hurts got a lot of action in training camp, but coach Nick Sirianni has typically used preseason as a means of finalizing his 53-man roster.
This means Hurts will sit out preseason for the second year running, like most starters.
Is Sam Darnold playing today?
If J.J. McCarthy was fit, we would likely see the former Michigan Wolverine take the field against the Eagles later today. But with McCarthy's knee injury ruling him out for the year, Sam Darnold just becomes that much more important for coach Kevin O'Connell.
The Vikings are expected to leave Darnold out of the game later today. This means Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall will see most of the reps, owing to their position on the Vikings depth chart.
