Discussions in the Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback room have centered primarily on what will happen to Sam Darnold. However, An important member of the team’s development will be a determining element in the Vikings’ decision-making.
McCarthy completed all of OTAs and training camp, but he suffered a torn meniscus that necessitated two surgeries to fix and then treat swelling in the knee.
McCarthy is anticipated to be ready for OTAs, but he must first clear one additional hurdle.
“McCarthy dropped more than 20 pounds this fall,” ESPN’s Kevin Seifert said on January 25. “McCarthy has plenty of time to restore his weight before OTA workouts this spring. However, his appearance served as a visual representation of the neutral terms used by Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and coach Kevin O’Connell last week when debating his near future.
Seifert observed that weight loss is prevalent among athletes following injury recuperation. McCarthy is one of two quarterbacks under contract with the Vikings in 2025. The other is veteran backup Brett Rypien, which makes the Vikings’ investigation much more urgent.
