Brosmer (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Vikings' emergency third quarterback against the Packers on Sunday.
Brosmer was the Vikings' backup for Week 9 against the Bills and ended up seeing the field late in the fourth quarter, when he completed six of seven pass attempts for 58 yards. The Vikings acquired Kirk Cousins from the Raiders on Tuesday, and he will serve as Minnesota's starter Sunday while Carson Wentz operates as the backup. With Kyler Murray (hamstring) sidelined, that leaves Brosmer as the emergency QB3, which prohibits the latter from playing unless both Cousins and Wentz leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
Vikings' Max Brosmer: Plays eight snaps at QB for Vikings
Rotowire
Brosmer completed six of seven attempts for 58 yards in Monday night's 23-6 loss to the Bills.
Brosmer replaced Carson Wentz in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game after the offense failed to produce a touchdown drive. Week 9 was Brosmer's first appearance in a 2026 regular-season game. He will likely play a similar backup role behind newly acquired Kirk Cousins as the season progresses, at least until Kyler Murray returns from a hamstring injury.

Vikings' Max Brosmer: Minnesota's QB2 for Week 9 with Murray hurt
Rotowire
Brosmer is set to back up Carson Wentz against the Bills on Monday, as Kyler Murray (hamstring) won't play, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
It would likely take an injury to Wentz for Brosmer to get into the game, but the latter moves one step closer to getting on the field for the first time in 2026. Brosmer didn't look like an NFL-caliber QB as a rookie in 2025, posting a 0:4 TD:INT across seven appearances, including two starts.
