J.J. McCarthy Returns to Vikings Amid Injury Setbacks
JJ McCarthy was forced to miss several games to begin the season due to a high ankle sprain. The quarterback returned in the Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions and registered a close 27-24 victory.
In that game, McCarthy completed 14 of 25 passes for 143 yards, threw two touchdowns, and ran for another.
Despite being viewed as the franchise QB, McCarthy says the Vikings never officially told him he was “the guy” in an interview from March.
“They haven’t told me, and I’m happy they didn’t because I try to earn it every single day,” McCarthy said on Up & Adams. “I never want that to be given to me. It’s such a privilege and an opportunity to give me that chance. I’m just gonna make the most of it every single day.”
McCarthy will be hoping to start producing outcomes for the Vikings.
