The Minnesota Vikings will be without J.J. McCarthy for their matchup against the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day. The second-year QB suffered a hairline fracture in his right hand during Minnesota’s Week 16 win over the New York Giants. Max Brosmer took over for McCarthy last Sunday and the rookie backup will get the start on Thursday.
However, McCarthy is not the only Viking who will miss the team’s Week 17 matchup. Jordan Mason will join the quarterback on the bench for the Christmas Day clash with Detroit, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Mason left the Giants game with an ankle injury and didn’t return. The fourth-year running back was unable to practice this week and he’s been ruled out for Thursday’s matchup.
