J.J. McCarthy won’t be under center for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1, but the dude officially secured his spot on their initial 53-man roster. Yeah, that’s right. After all the chatter, he’s in!
The Roster Spot Is Real
ESPN’s Adam Schefter dropped the news: McCarthy is in Minnesota. This isn’t a starting gig yet, obviously. Kyler Murray snagged that top spot this summer, straight up beating McCarthy out. Honestly, there was a ton of speculation if McCarthy would even stick with the squad after that starting job announcement went down earlier this month. But here we are, he made the cut.
What Even Is This QB Room?
This is where it gets interesting, because Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell totally left the door open for keeping four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Think about that for a second! Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer, both guys who actually started games for the team last year, were also in camp all summer. The Vikings are probably gonna keep at least one of those two vets around, too. So, who’s where on that Week 1 depth chart? That’s the real question we’re all watching.
The QB Depth Chart: Still a Mystery
As the Vikings gear up to face the Packers, everyone’s gonna be glued to see how this whole quarterback situation shakes out. McCarthy’s in, but the pecking order behind Murray? That’s still a total wait-and-see.
