The Vikings have seemingly named their starting quarterback.
Despite the acquisition of veteran Sam Bradford, Minnesota's "tentative plan" is to start Shaun Hill under center in their Week 1 matchup against the Titans in Tennessee.

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Bradford "will be armed with a simplified version of the offense in case Hill is injured." The scenario is reasonable, considering Bradford will have just four practices under his belt after being acquired from the Eagles on Saturday for a first-round pick in 2017 and a 2018 conditional pick that could be as high as the second round. Bradford does, however, have the potential to be named the starter for the Vikings' Week 2 home opener against the Packers.
The Vikings recently found themselves desperate for a quarterback to replace the injured Teddy Bridgewater, who dislocated his left knee, tore his ACL and suffered other damage in a freak injury in practice on Tuesday. He had started 28 games at quarterback for Minnesota the previous two seasons.
