Heinicke was 8-of-12 for 73 yards passing and led the Vikings on a game-winning final drive at the end of the 4th quarter in Sunday's win over the 49ers.
Heinicke rushed for a two-point conversion by diving for the end zone cone to win the game. He had missed practice last week with an undisclosed injury but was able to play Sunday. It's not clear if the Vikings will keep a third quarterback on the roster. If so, Heinicke likely will win the spot despite Minnesota signing quarterback Mitch Leidner late in camp.
