While the signs have already been pointing to J.J. McCarthy not starting in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks due to a concussion he suffered this past Sunday, Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell has now all but confirmed this to be what is going to happen.
On Wednesday, O'Connell shared that while McCarthy had cleared enough of the concussion protocol to participate in practice in a limited fashion, he was only able to take part in individual drills. Because of this, rookie Max Brosmer took all of the practice reps with the first-team offense on Wednesday, and John Wolford handled the scout-team reps.
