NFL.com News on J.J. McCarthy

McCarthy's injury history and 12 INTs vs. 11 TDs limit immediate value.

McCarthy, the Vikings' 2024 first-round pick, missed his entire rookie season due to a torn meniscus and was sidelined for seven games last season due to injuries; he has fallen to third string this season after the team signed Kyler Murray to start and re-signed Carson Wentz as backup. McCarthy has started only 10 games with more interceptions (12) than touchdowns (11), though he is well-liked in the Harbaugh family (Jim Harbaugh once lauded him as the greatest quarterback in Michigan history). As a developmental project, he is unlikely to help teams in immediate need.
