Yahoo Sports NFL on J.J. McCarthy

McCarthy's 57.6% completion rate and 11 TDs/12 INTs in 2025 led Vikings to move on.

McCarthy's 2025 rookie season was marked by injury and poor performance: he sustained a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 that sidelined him for five games, returned in Week 9 but struggled with accuracy, completing just 57.6% of his passes for 163.2 yards per game with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions across 10 starts. He failed to complete more than 56% of his passes in four consecutive games, contributing to the Vikings' 9-8 record and playoff miss. The Vikings subsequently signed Kyler Murray in the offseason, effectively ending McCarthy's tenure as the starter.
