Overview

• Brosmer played the entire second half against the Patriots, completing 15 of 27 passes for 156 yards and converting a fourth-and-17 to Jeshaun Jones.
• Head coach Kevin O’Connell praised his processing speed and low-risk decision-making, saying Brosmer has “earned” additional reps in camp.
• Peers like J.J. McCarthy and Tim Jones have lauded his accuracy and work ethic, with McCarthy calling him “the man.”
• Minnesota must trim its roster to 53 players by August 26, forcing a choice between keeping three quarterbacks or exposing Brosmer to waivers.
• The 24-year-old’s rise from fourth-string to QB2 contender now pits him against veterans Brett Rypien and Sam Howell for a backup role.
