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.
