JJ McCarthy suffered a high ankle sprain in his right ankle during the Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Since then, the Minnesota Vikings have missed him and have turned to Carson Wentz as the backup who could log valuable minutes in the league. Now, with the international game against the Cleveland Browns approaching, the anticipation to see their star quarterback remains high.
McCarthy continues to be one of the most awaited names for the Vikings, but patience is once again required in his recovery process. After missing two straight weeks, Minnesota recorded one win and one loss. The upcoming international game in London adds further uncertainty.
Practice sessions leading up to another international week for the Vikings have revealed an updated status on McCarthy’s injury.
