J.J. McCarthy's second season in the league was cut short by an injury during the Minnesota Vikings' season finale against the Green Bay Packers. The quarterback, who had recently returned from a previous injury, managed 182 passing yards on 14 completions before being forced out of the game.

Coach Kevin O'Connell conveyed his confidence in McCarthy's improvement and eagerness to continue his development.
The Vikings' front office will deliberate McCarthy's future during the offseason. The team hopes he can overcome his injury issues, which included an ankle sprain, concussion, and hairline fracture this season, to fully prove his capabilities next year.
