J.J. McCarthy, the 10th overall pick in the 2024 draft, will miss the entire first season after knee surgery, as confirmed by head coach Kevin O'Connell.
Initially thought to have knee soreness, McCarthy was later diagnosed with a torn meniscus that necessitated surgery, sidelining him for the season.
With McCarthy out, veteran quarterback Sam Darnold is favored to take over starting duties for the Minnesota Vikings moving forward this season.
This injury marks a significant setback for McCarthy, who was competing for the starter role during training camp before his diagnosis.
