The Minnesota Vikings are now 3-4 following a 37-10 road loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, which featured another rough outing for quarterback Carson Wentz. Many fans are clamoring for young JJ McCarthy, who has missed the last five games with a high-ankle sprain. There was some speculation that the team may not want him on the field with an injury-ravaged offensive line, but head coach Kevin O’Connell is making his stance on the second-year signal-caller quite clear.
“If JJ is healthy, JJ will play,” he said, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The hope is that McCarthy will be ready to play next Sunday versus the Detroit Lions after this extended break.
