McCarthy is Vikings' third QB with injury-prone depth chart ahead of him.

McCarthy is the Vikings' third-string QB in a depth chart with Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz, all three of whom have significant injury histories. The Vikings were forced to turn to their backup QB approximately seven minutes into the 2026 season when Murray got concussed against the Packers, making McCarthy a critical part of the team's QB contingency plan.
