On the heels of an opening weekend comeback victory over the Bears that saw him win the NFC's Offensive Player of the Week, Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a high ankle sprain in his team's Week 2 loss to the Falcons.
The second-year player—who was selected with the No. 10 pick in the 2024 NFL draft—has not played since the injury occurred and has since been ruled out for Minnesota's Week 8 Thursday night matchup against the Chargers in Los Angeles.
