Things are getting worse for JJ McCarthy after losing Vikings starting job
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- J.J. McCarthy is losing ground in the Minnesota Vikings' quarterback depth chart, now sharing second-team reps with veteran Carson Wentz after failing to secure the backup role behind Kyler Murray.
- McCarthy, a former Michigan national champion and third-year player, has struggled to impress coaches, showing inconsistent performance in preseason games and risking his spot on the roster.
- Wentz, who signed a one-year deal with the Vikings despite interest from other teams, is challenging McCarthy for playing time and could potentially push the younger quarterback off the team.
- The Vikings typically keep fewer than three quarterbacks on the active roster, adding pressure on McCarthy as he competes to remain with the team.
- Both quarterbacks will have another opportunity to prove themselves in the preseason finale against the Denver Broncos on Friday.
