The Minnesota Vikings received their first glimpse of rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy in action over the weekend in the team's first preseason game. Unfortunately, it will also be the last look at the young signal-caller for a while.
On Tuesday, reports emerged McCarthy would have to undergo knee surgery and miss an undetermined amount of time. ESPN's Adam Schefter was first with the news of the procedure. Shortly thereafter, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported McCarthy was dealing with a meniscus issue, which indicates his recovery time will vary quite a bit depending on the surgery he gets.
