Will J.J. McCarthy play for the Vikings again this season? Here's the latest on his injury.
When the Minnesota Vikings took J.J. McCarthy out of Michigan with the No. 10 overall pick out of , there was some thought about the quarterback starting right away over Sam Darnold.
And while he may be on the sidelines with the team now, it's a good time to remind you: he suffered a knee injury and had surgery for a torn meniscus back in August. It's a season-ender for him, which means that even though you're seeing him back with the team, he's looking ahead to returning in 2025.
There you have it. But it'll be nice to see him on the sidelines on Thursday night.
Vikings rookie QB JJ McCarthy is part of the team's traveling party for the first time, in Los Angeles for tonight's game against the Rams. It's a good sign for his rehab, which is progressing nicely.
He'll be on the sideline and headsets tonight. More coming on TNF Tonight.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) October 24, 2024
