Quarterback J.J. McCarthy’s injury places the Vikings in a sadly familiar position
Rookie Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy will undergo knee surgery and is expected to miss the start of the 2024 regular season, leaving Sam Darnold as the likely opening-day starter. McCarthy’s return timeline will be determined after surgery. Minnesota struggled with backup QBs last season after Kirk Cousins’ injury, finishing 7-10. Darnold, a replacement-level option with career stats of 59.7% completion rate, 63 TDs, and 56 interceptions, started the preseason opener. McCarthy showed promise in his debut before the injury. The Vikings face tough opponents in the early season, highlighting the need for a starting-caliber QB like McCarthy.
