After a strong 5-0 start, the Minnesota Vikings have hit a rough patch with back-to-back losses, dropping from first in the NFC North but still eyeing a playoff spot. Meanwhile, franchise quarterback J.J. McCarthy is progressing in his knee injury rehabilitation.
Recently seen with teammates for the first time since his injury, McCarthy joined the traveling party to L.A., dined with quarterbacks, and listened in on game strategy from the sidelines. Coach Kevin O’Connell is committed to McCarthy’s growth, holding weekly meetings to ensure his development continues despite being sidelined.
While McCarthy is focused on rebuilding strength, his engagement in team activities signals a bright future for the Vikings and their young quarterback.
