"J.J. McCarthy could emerge from the concussion protocol as soon as Monday, coach Kevin O'Connell said Sunday, and be in line to start the Vikings' Week 14 game against the Washington Commanders. "He is [still in the protocol] as of right now, but we'll see how he does tomorrow," O'Connell said. "Our goal is he clears and he can have a good week of practice and have an opportunity to play next week.""
"On Sunday, rookie Max Brosmer threw four interceptions in Minnesota's 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks -- the first time the Vikings have been shut out since Week 17 of the 2007 season. Their 305-game streak since then, including the regular season and playoffs, was the third-longest active streak in the NFL. McCarthy has not played much better. In six starts, he has produced the NFL's worst QBR (24.7) among 33 quarterbacks who have started at least six games."
The Vikings could start J.J. McCarthy in Week 14 if he clears the concussion protocol and can practice next week. Rookie Max Brosmer started against Seattle and threw four interceptions in a 26-0 loss, the franchise's first shutout since 2007 and the end of a 305-game streak that was the NFL's third-longest active streak. McCarthy has a 4-8 record and the NFL's worst QBR (24.7) among quarterbacks with at least six starts. The organization prioritizes giving McCarthy game reps to evaluate him as the likely 2026 starter despite roster uncertainty and limited playoff chances.
