        J.J. McCarthy QB MIN

        Is J.J. McCarthy Still Minnesota's Starter?

        Is J.J. McCarthy Still Minnesota's Starter?

        Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell "declined to say if he was 100% committed to [QB J.J.] McCarthy resuming his starting role once he is healthy" on Monday, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. McCarthy is out of his walking boot as he works back from a high-ankle sprain. But he's already been ruled out for Week 4, and it sounds like he's not guaranteed to immediately get the starting job back once healthy.

        Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said after Sunday's win over the Bengals that QB Carson Wentz will start next weekend's game against the Steelers in Dublin. That's not a surprise after reports that QB J.J. McCarthy would miss 2-4 weeks with his high-ankle sprain.

        Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. He didn’t practice all week and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with his high-ankle sprain. QB Carson Wentz will step in as Minnesota’s starter but is only in play as a desperation start in 2-QB and superflex leagues.
