"McCarthy suffered a right hand injury late in the second quarter of the team's game Sunday against the New York Giants and was ruled out during halftime. McCarthy suffered the injury when Giants linebacker Brian Burns sacked him with 25 seconds remaining in the game. McCarthy fumbled and remained on the ground while safety Tyler Nubin scooped up the ball and returned it for a touchdown. McCarthy grimaced noticeably when medical officials began examining the hand and he walked straight into the locker room."
"Injuries have been a major concern for McCarthy since the Vikings made him the No. 10 pick of the 2024 draft. He missed all of his rookie season because of a torn meniscus in his right knee. A right ankle sprain cost him five games earlier this season, and a concussion cost him a sixth. In between, his play has been inconsistent at best. Sunday, he completed nine of 14 passes for 108 yards with one interception."
