J.J. McCarthy Received Full Medical Clearance Nearly Two Weeks Ago

Christopher Gates has been the lead writer at The Daily Norseman since the site launched in July of 2006, covering the Minnesota Vikings day in and day out.

After missing all of his rookie season with an injury, the young man who currently sits atop the Minnesota Vikings’ depth chart at quarterback has gotten a clean bill of health.

At a press conference on Thursday, J.J. McCarthy confirmed that he got a full medical clearance back on 2 June, so it’s all systems go for the future of the franchise.

McCarthy played in just one preseason game for the Vikings last season, putting together a solid overall performance and playing most of the contest.
