US EditionVikings Put McCarthy in Concussion Protocol, After Struggling QB Reports Postgame Symptoms
McCarthy's concussion protocol status clouds Vikings' quarterback situation with rookie Max Brosmer poised to start if needed, after a poor Week 12 performance against the Packers.
- On Monday, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell announced Minnesota placed J.J. McCarthy in concussion protocol, and his availability for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks is in question.
- The injury stemmed from an interception thrown late in the fourth quarter during Minnesota's 23-6 Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers, with McCarthy first reporting symptoms during the team's flight home, and the medical staff then put him into protocol, O'Connell said.
- On the injury front, McCarthy previously missed his rookie year and five games this season, returning on Nov. 2 to beat the Detroit Lions while posting a 2-4 record across six starts.
- If McCarthy can't go, O'Connell confirmed undrafted rookie Max Brosmer would start Sunday after signing in April 2025 and completing five of eight passes for 42 yards across two appearances.
- At 4-7 and 0-3 in their last three games, the Minnesota Vikings face Seattle Seahawks, Washington Commanders, and Dallas Cowboys next, risking elimination from the 2025 season.
