J.J. McCarthy Out For Season After Undergoing Surgery

Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy underwent a full meniscus repair Wednesday morning and will miss the entirety of the 2024 NFL season, head coach Kevin O’Connell said.

It’s a big blow for the Vikings and McCarthy, whose recovery timeline was dependent on the type of surgery he needed to repair the meniscus. Had McCarthy just needed a clean-up procedure, it would have kept him sidelined for 4-6 weeks. The timeline for the full repair is 4-6 months.
