J.J. McCarthy Back On The Field After Knee Injury

J.J. McCarthy Back On The Field After Knee Injury

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy is back on the field, throwing and training, GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said Thursday. McCarthy is working his way back from a right knee injury suffered in August. He had his meniscus repaired on August 14 and a second surgery in November to address swelling. But it sounds like McCarthy is trending in the right direction now and should be able to participate in the offseason program

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy underwent a second surgery on his right knee earlier this week, HC Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday. McCarthy originally went under the knife on August 14 to repair a torn meniscus. According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, this latest procedure was a "biologic injection" to address swelling in the knee that developed during the rehab process. McCarthy's recovery timeline has not changed, meaning he's still expected to be ready for the 2025 campaign. This sounds like a minor footnote in McCarthy's story, but we'll continue to keep an eye on his rehab. He remains a strong dynasty stash in this O'Connell-led passing game.

The Vikings announced Wednesday that QB J.J. McCarthy will miss the entire 2024 season. Surgery on the meniscus in the rookie's right knee revealed that he needed a full repair.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy will underdog knee surgery after complaining about knee soreness. After an MRI, it was revealed that he has a torn meniscus in his right knee. The amount of time he will miss is currently unknown, but we will update when more information is available.
