McCarthy expressed that he didn't realize he was injured until the morning after a promising preseason debut, when his knee buckled as he walked.
In explaining his situation, McCarthy mentioned, 'I just wanted to play it safe and play the long game' regarding decisions that impact his career.
He described the injury experience as 'a kick in the balls,' yet acknowledged that it was ultimately an unavoidable part of being an athlete.
Vikings placed him on injured reserve, which ended his season and restricted him from participating in any practice sessions due to NFL regulations.
