With the rumors around the injury to Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, the most recent news could signal a return to action after the bye week. In the latest injury update on the Vikings quarterback, he will return to the practice field along with other key players on the offensive line, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.
“Vikings will open LB Blake Cashman’s 21-day IR return window today. Per Kevin O’Connell, the Vikings will also have QB J.J. McCarthy, C Michael Jurgens, LG Donovan Jackson, and RT Brian O’Neill back on the practice field this week in various capacities. Bonus practice today,” Seifert wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.
When head coach Kevin O’Connell was asked by Seifert about McCarthy being back against the Eagles next Sunday, he said, “he’s not ready to project” the status of the 22-year-old.
“Asked about the possibility of J.J. McCarthy back vs. Eagles, Kevin O’Connell says he’s not ready to project where he might be by the end of the week. Carson Wentz (left shoulder) will practice this week,” Seifert wrote. “KOC in part: ‘We’ve got to prepare to try to win a game on Sunday.'”
