Ex-Viking delivers grim J.J. McCarthy message after latest setback

For the second time this season, Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell began his weekly Monday press conference by revealing that quarterback J.J. McCarthy sustained a notable injury in the team's previous game that could potentially sideline him for at least one contest.

This time, O'Connell shared that McCarthy has been placed in concussion protocol following the Vikings' loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, and if he can't play in the team's upcoming Week 13 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, undrafted rookie Max Brosmer will get the start at quarterback for Minnesota.
