Vikings rookie QB J.J. McCarthy is working his way back into the fold

The Minnesota Vikings are in quite the pickle regarding their quarterback situation in the future, or so it seems. Sam Darnold’s play has truly been remarkable. Despite that sudden emergence, Darnold has to know he is not the future for this franchise. In fact, the quarterback of the future is already making his way back into the fold.

Rookie J.J. McCarthy will miss the 2024 season but remains active off the field to stay on top of things.

In a recent report from Sports Illustrated, Albert Breer discussed that McCarthy was with the Vikings during their trip to Los Angeles for their Thursday night matchup. He also included that McCarthy meets with coach Kevin O’Connell in one-on-one meetings weekly.

McCarthy is also working on his way back to being back into football activities, not just the mental ones. He remains the future for this franchise, O’Connell is handling it the right way, let us hope that Darnold does as well as he begins to see him more around the building.
