Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy missed his entire rookie season due to injury, and after just two games of the 2025 campaign, he’s expected to miss more time.

McCarthy is expected to be sidelined for two to four weeks due to a high-ankle sprain suffered in Sunday night’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, according to ESPN .

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said Monday morning that McCarthy was "very sore" after the injury, and he would likely be missing Week 3’s contest against the Cincinnati Bengals.
