J.J. McCarthy has been placed in concussion protocol by the Vikings. He reported symptoms on the team’s flight back to the Twin Cities following a disastrous display by the Vikings in a 23-6 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field.

Asked for more details on the situation on Monday afternoon at TCO Performance Center, Kevin O’Connell said he couldn’t pinpoint a particular play that might have led to McCarthy having symptoms.

It wasn’t a good performance for McCarthy as he completed 12 of 19 passes for 87 yards while being intercepted twice. He was also sacked a handful of times in the loss, including twice by Micah Parsons, who folded him in half, and twice by Devonte Wyatt, who threw him around like a rag doll.
