The Facts: Joining Good Morning Football on Tuesday, Murray discussed the training camp battle he's expecting. "If I'm looking at it from my perspective, here I am, already behind in a sense, going into a new offense, new situation, but I'm injured, coming off an injury," Murray said of undergoing ankle surgery this offseason. "Dalvin (Cook) has already been through the [organized team activities], he's already been through the offseason. So, he has that up on me. But also, looking at it as, hey, I'm the vet, I have time in this league, I've done some good things in this league. So I have a lot to bring to the table.

Diehards Line: The Vikings signed Murray as a veteran replacement for Adrian Peterson but were clearly in the market for a back entering the draft. The 27-year-old tailback has shown flashes, but has been inconsistent and dealt with injuries since being drafted in the sixth round in 2013. As the primary ball carrier the past two seasons in Oakland, he averaged 4.0 yards per carry. The Raiders let him walk with little resistance. Murray said he wasn't shocked when the Vikings added Cook to their stable. "Either way you have to be motivated," Murray said. The praise the normally toned-down Mike Zimmer has heaped on Cook this offseason, coupled with Murray coming off injury, suggests the rookie has the edge heading into training camp. Shifty Jerick McKinnon is also in line for touches as a change-of-pace back. As for a prediction about who will get the opening snap Week 1: "I'm on the field ... I'm getting the ball," Murray said. We'd suggest believing that when you see it.
