X-Rays Negative for Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy After Injuring His Right Hand

McCarthy suffered a right-hand injury after a sack and fumble, joining multiple Vikings players ruled out in the first half, highlighting ongoing injury challenges.

  • On December 21, 2025, Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy was ruled out of Sunday's game against the New York Giants with a right throwing-hand injury.
  • The strip sack by Brian Burns resulted in a fumble, which Tyler Nubin returned for a Giants touchdown with 24 seconds left in the first half.
  • McCarthy was 9-of-14 for 108 yards, had a rushing touchdown and an interception before leaving the game, and KFAN-FM 100.3's Chris Hawkey said, `I think we may see a Max Brosmer second half here` as rookie Max Brosmer took the final snap before halftime.
  • Running back Jordan Mason and center Ryan Kelly were declared out before the second half, with Mason leading the Vikings with 659 yards and six rushing touchdowns and Kelly entering concussion protocol.
  • McCarthy has a history of serious injuries, including missing time this year for a torn meniscus, right ankle sprain, and concussion, while Dr. David Chao suspects a right metacarpal fracture.
