"McCarthy reported concussion symptoms following the Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. He advanced far enough through the protocol to participate in practice on a limited basis this week, but O'Connell elected to rule him out Friday. Veteran John Wolford will be elevated from the Vikings' practice squad to back up Brosmer. The Vikings also signed Desmond Ridder to their practice squad earlier this week."
"He missed all of last season after tearing the meniscus in his right knee during a preseason game. Since the Vikings made him the No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 draft, McCarthy has missed 24 of a possible 30 games, including playoffs. More concerning is the way McCarthy has played in the six starts he has made. Entering Week 13, he ranked last in the NFL in QBR (24.8), completion percentage (54.1) and touchdown/interception ratio (0.6)."
The Minnesota Vikings will start quarterback Max Brosmer at Seattle as J.J. McCarthy remains in the concussion protocol. McCarthy reported symptoms after the loss to Green Bay, practiced on a limited basis this week, and was ruled out Friday. John Wolford will be elevated from the practice squad to serve as backup, and the Vikings added Desmond Ridder to the practice squad earlier in the week. McCarthy has missed 24 of 30 games since being drafted No. 10 overall in 2024 and struggled in six starts, ranking last in QBR, completion percentage and touchdown-to-interception ratio entering Week 13. Brosmer, an undrafted 24-year-old, impressed during camp and won the No. 3 job.
