Overview
- Cooper Rush, who was invited Friday, is throwing at the Vikings’ rookie minicamp alongside Aidan Bouman.
- Minnesota sought tryout arms because it did not draft or sign a rookie quarterback after the 2026 draft.
- The team already carries Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer, so the invite is not a signal of a pending deal.
- Rush is a free agent after the Ravens released him in March, following a 2025 season with two starts, no touchdowns and four interceptions.
- The 32-year-old built his résumé in Dallas, going 9-5 in 14 starts, which helps explain why teams still want a look.
