Vikings' McCarthy to Undergo Surgery for Torn Meniscus, Darnold Named Starter
Aug 13, 2024, 04:36 PM
Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy is set to undergo knee surgery following a torn meniscus in his right knee, sustained during his first preseason game. The injury has led to McCarthy being sidelined, with no definitive timeline for his return. Head Coach Kevin O’Connell mentioned that McCarthy continued to play despite the injury, initially considering it minor. The Vikings have updated their quarterback depth chart, positioning Sam Darnold as the starter for the upcoming season. Darnold, who was the presumptive starter before training camp, is expected to lead the team in Week 1. Recovery from a meniscus trim typically spans 4-6 weeks, but the exact nature of McCarthy's surgery could extend this period. The Vikings had prioritized McCarthy's development, having used their highest draft pick on a quarterback to select him. McCarthy will not travel to Cleveland for joint practices.
