Wes Phillips anticipates Vikings name starting QB Wednesday

After spending the bye week in quarterback purgatory, the Minnesota Vikings have a decision to make ahead of Sunday afternoon’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

In speaking to the media on Tuesday afternoon, offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said that he anticipates the Vikings confirming their starting quarterback on Wednesday afternoon.

That is a smart play by the Vikings. Doing so on Wednesday will give one of Jaren Hall, Nick Mullens or Josh Dobbs the entire week of practice running with the first team to pregame for the game against the Raiders.

The Vikings will go through a walkthrough on Wednesday afternoon shortly after 2 p.m. CT and head coach Kevin O’Connell will speak to the media at 1:50 p.m. CT. O’Connell would likely announce it then.
