When Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 2, it was first projected that he would return to start for Minnesota by Week 7 after the team's bye week. Well, fast forward and Week 7 is here and McCarthy isn't expected to start vs. the Eagles. Carson Wentz will instead start in his fourth straight contest.
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell hasn't given an exact projected date for McCarthy to return from injury. It seems that the team is being cautious to bring McCarthy back until he is fully healthy to avoid him missing more time in the future.
