The Minnesota Vikings allowed J.J. McCarthy to be their quarterback for the future, but following his Week 1 fourth-quarter comeback performance, things have been a bit rocky. McCarthy looked a bit lost in Week 2, throwing two interceptions and no touchdowns, as the Atlanta Falcons’ defense came down on him hard.

After his Week 2 injury against the Atlanta Falcons, JJ McCarthy missed the Minnesota Vikings' last game. Before their historic first NFL matchup in Ireland, head coach Kevin O'Connell provided an update on the young quarterback's return strategy.

O'Connell stated he has 'not even thought about' whether McCarthy could recover in time to play the Bowns in London in Week 5.

J.J. McCarthy could lose his starting job with the Minnesota Vikings to QB Carson Wentz, according to Phil Simms.

The Minnesota Vikings have signed former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder following JJ McCarthy's injury.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is reportedly expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a high-ankle sprain, as Carson Wentz is expected to take over starting duties.

JJ McCarthy has already been ruled out of the Minnesota Vikings next game? But after that, his return timeline gets internationally confusing.

Not only is Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy injured, but his play through Week 2 is a major cause for alarm.

While he tossed two touchdown passes and rushed for a score in the fourth quarter of Minnesota's 27-24 Week 1 victory at the Bears, McCarthy otherwise left much to be desired with his play before his latest setback.
