Vikings, J.J. McCarthy
Digest more
The Minnesota Vikings have been floated as a trade partner for QB Kirk Cousins, which could be the beginning of the end for J.J. McCarthy.
We're nearing the midway point of the 2025 NFL season, and the Minnesota Vikings may soon be on their third starting quarterback of the year. Coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed as much this week, admitting undrafted rookie Max Brosmer is "an option" in the event Carson Wentz can't stay on the field as J.J. McCarthy's replacement.
The Vikings are still not going to have J.J. McCarthy as their starting quarterback in Los Angeles on Thursday night, but coach Kevin O'Connell opened up about how the second-year player is progressing.
The return of J.J. McCarthy will have to wait a little bit longer. Although head coach Kevin O’Connell said McCarthy went through a workout on Tuesday morning at TCO Performance Center, he still isn’t where he needs to be as he works his way back from a high ankle sprain.
