Here are more takeaways from Day 5 of training camp: After another otherwise solid performance from McCarthy, he ended it on a sour note in the two-minute drill. The offense stepped to the line of scrimmage with 1 minute, 15 seconds left on the clock, trailing 13-10, and ultimately turned the ball over on downs.

It was a good day for the Vikings' depth tight ends. Ben Yurosek had one of the highlights of the practice with a leaping touchdown catch from Howell in red zone 7s, but Bryson Nesbit and Giovanni Ricci made some plays as well. With Gavin Bartholomew on the PUP list, those first three guys are competing for the TE3 role, as things stand.

On Monday, the Minnesota Vikings were in pads for the first time during training camp, leading to several impressive performances.
