Daily Norseman on J.J. McCarthy

If McCarthy can't play Week 1, Vikings need third QB on active roster.

If McCarthy cannot play Week 1, Kevin O'Connell will need to add a third active-roster quarterback because an emergency QB must be on the 53-man roster, not the practice squad. Forness expected Minnesota to move on from McCarthy before the roster deadline, and trade talks reportedly occurred but no deal materialized. The combination of the ankle injury, the preseason sit-out, and the lack of a trade suggests uncertainty about McCarthy's availability and role going forward.
