EAGAN, Minn. — Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy had an injection in his right knee earlier this week to alleviate swelling that arose during his rehabilitation program. Coach Kevin O'Connell said the injection would not set back the rookie's progress toward returning in 2025. McCarthy was the 10th overall pick in the NFL draft. He tore his meniscus during the first exhibition game on Aug. 10 and had season-ending surgery. The former Michigan star has progressed to where he is regularly attending meetings and practices.
