The Minnesota Vikings are getting a huge player back into the fold ahead of their Week 9 bout against the Detroit Lions. J.J. McCarthy, the teams' second-year quarterback looking to get back on his developmental track under head coach Kevin O'Connell, will be starting against the NFC North powerhouse Lions at Ford Field on Sunday afternoon.
Another potential addition back to the Vikings' roster is linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, who provides a huge pop to Minnesota's defense when he's on the field. With the health of tackle Taylor Decker a bit up in the air headed into this game, this injury update isn't exactly welcomed.
