Did J.J. McCarthy make the Vikings? Latest updates as roster cuts loom
The Vikings are facing some difficult decisions ahead of the NFL's 53-man roster deadline. Among them is what to do with J.J. McCarthy.
J.J. McCarthy competed with Kyler Murray for the starting quarterback position with the Minnesota Vikings during the preseason. Despite his efforts, McCarthy did not secure the job and was unable to play in the final preseason game due to an ankle injury. The 23-year-old's performance throughout the preseason has raised doubts about his future with the team.
Carson Wentz, a 33-year-old veteran, may become the backup quarterback, overshadowing McCarthy. However, McCarthy could still retain a role as a third-string quarterback, depending on the Vikings' decision on whether to keep him or release him. The 2024 first-round pick's future remains uncertain as the NFL's 53-man roster deadline approaches.
