Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is set to miss his team's Week 3 game vs. the Bengals on Sunday as he deals with a high ankle sprain he suffered last Sunday night against the Falcons. He didn't end up going on the injured reserve list though.
Although McCarthy is progressing well in his recovery, coach Kevin O'Connell said earlier this week, it doesn't sound like McCarthy will return to the field right away. According to CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson, the Vikings are considering keeping the quarterback out until after their Week 6 bye in order to give him enough time for rest and recovery.
