Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy will miss the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee on Wednesday.
J.J. McCarthy's rookie year with the Minnesota Vikings is already over. The former Michigan star quarterback and first-round NFL draft pick will miss the season after undergoing surgery to repair torn meniscus in his right knee, which he injured in his preseason debut last week.
McCarthy's loss was especially tough for a franchise looking for a fresh start after letting Kirk Cousins go as a free agent. "Because you know just how exciting it would have been as a daily, minute-to-minute process moving forward. But I think that optimism should be felt by anybody in our building and hopefully our fans."
With McCarthy no longer in the mix, Nick Mullens will be Minnesota's No. 2 quarterback. Jaren Hall is No. 3 on the depth chart.Meanwhile, wide receiver Jordan Addison was carted off the field with an ankle injury during Wednesday's joint practice session with the host Cleveland Browns. Addison, 22, made the NFL All-Rookie team in 2023 after hauling in 70 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns in 17 games . He was selected by the Vikings with the 23rd overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Southern California.The New England Patriots have traded four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Matthew Judon to the Atlanta Falcons for a third-round draft pick, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.
