Negative signalRole

McCarthy's path to playing time now depends on injury or poor performance.

McCarthy no longer controls his own destiny with the Vikings. For him to see the field in 2026, it will require an injury or poor performance by Murray or Carson Wentz. He is under contract through next season, but either the Vikings or Murray would have to opt for a change for him to re-enter the QB discussion.
