The Minnesota Vikings want to get busy developing rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

The NFL has taken no action against the Atlanta Falcons in relation to a possible hip-drop tackle that may have injured J.J. McCarthy last Sunday.

Not only is Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy injured, but his play through Week 2 is a major cause for alarm.

The Vikings’ win included a history setting performance from second year quarterback JJ McCarthy, who won a national championship with Michigan in 2023-2024 before sitting out his rookie season due to a torn medial and radial meniscus in his right knee suffered during preseason.

The Minnesota Vikings just made a significant call on quarterback J.J. McCarthy. The post Vikings Announce Major Decision on J.J. McCarthy’s Playing Future appeared first on Heavy Sports.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy led a thrilling comeback victory over the Chicago Bears, 27-24, in his first NFL start on Monday night.

The Minnesota Vikings ’ Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons only gave an NFL legend-turned-analyst more reasons to doubt young quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

The Vikings QB and Michigan alum might not play in Week 3 vs. the Bengals, putting Carson Wentz in line to start.

The Vikings looked dead in the water, but JJ McCarthy put the team on his back in the fourth quarter. McCarthy is the first QB to overcome a 10-point deficit in a debut since Steve Young in 1985, and he is the first QB in NFL history to account for three TDs in the fourth quarter of a debut.

Wentz is expected to make multiple starts, but McCarthy could return as soon as Week 5 in London, reports say.
