JJ McCarthy has had a whirlwind season from Week 1 to Week 2. Now things have gotten even crazier for Week 3.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that McCarthy is expected to be sidelined for two to four weeks with a high ankle sprain.

In his place will be Super Bowl-winning quarterback Carson Wentz.

This is tough news for a young quarterback who came into the 2025 season with hopes of showing what he could do on the field.

The Vikings were once rumored to be a contender for nabbing Aaron Rodgers, but they shut the door on that, with them putting their hopes into JJ McCarthy.

Now, the team has to put their 2025 hopes and dreams into a veteran quarterback who is long past his great days on the field.
