The Minnesota Vikings are enjoying a much-needed bye week after a long two-week road trip overseas as they try to get back to 100% healthy.
One of the major injuries they have dealt with is to their young starting quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, as he recovers from a high ankle sprain that has kept him out for three games. Carson Wentz has been his replacement and has gone 2-1 as the starter.
In his two starts, McCarthy has thrown for 301 yards and two touchdowns to three interceptions, adding 50 rushing yards and one touchdown on the ground.
