EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy will miss the subsequent sport with a sprained ankle, coach Kevin O’Connell mentioned on Monday.
McCarthy didn’t miss any time throughout Minnesota’s 22-6 loss to Atlanta, passing an preliminary medical analysis and getting his foot taped up for additional assist after the harm occurred late within the third quarter on the finish of a 16-yard run. The ankle ache predictably worsened in a single day, O’Connell mentioned, and the choice to sideline McCarthy for the sport in opposition to Cincinnati this Sunday was not performance-related.
The Vikings weren’t planning to place McCarthy on short-term injured reserve, O’Connell mentioned, so his harm standing is taken into account week to week.
Carson Wentz, the Tenth-year veteran who simply joined the Vikings two weeks in the past, will begin in opposition to the Bengals, who might be with out their beginning quarterback, Joe Burrow.
