"WARE, England -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy will miss his third consecutive start because of a high right ankle sprain after he was held out of practice once again Friday. The Vikings had hoped McCarthy would participate in at least a portion of the practice at their temporary facility outside London. But rain began falling early Friday morning, and coach Kevin O'Connell decided against it."
"'He got through [the week] pretty well,' O'Connell said of McCarthy. 'Obviously with the weather today, my hope was to try to get him some work during individual [drills], but with the weather and the tight field space -- we're working on a 100-yard field -- we wanted to be smart with that. But very much looking forward to spending some time with him next week and see where he is at coming out of the bye.'"
J.J. McCarthy will miss a third consecutive start because of a high right ankle sprain after being held out of practice Friday. Rain and tight field space at the Vikings' temporary London facility prevented individual drills, so McCarthy did not practice. Carson Wentz is scheduled to start Sunday against the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and has completed 44 of 66 passes for 523 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in two starts. McCarthy suffered the injury Sept. 14, reported significant soreness the next morning, and has not practiced since. Multiple offensive linemen were ruled out Friday, including starting center Ryan Kelly, backup Michael Jurgens, and right tackle Brian O'Neill.
