J.J. McCarthy, the Minnesota Vikings' first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, will miss his entire rookie season after surgery revealed a full right meniscus repair was needed.
Minnesota Vikings first-round pick J.J. McCarthy will miss the entirety of his rookie season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn right meniscus. Head coach Kevin O’Connell made the announcement on Wednesday, saying the surgery was successful. However, doctors found a 'repair was necessary which will end J.J.’s 2024 season.' So, instead of just a trim during the procedure, McCarthy needed a full repair that will require extensive rehab to get back on the field.
VIKINGS' JJ MCCARTHY SUFFERS TORN MENISCUS IN RIGHT KNEE When news came that McCarthy needed surgery for his torn meniscus, he posted on X an optimistic message for Vikings fans. 'Love you Viking nation. I’ll be back in no time. Amor fati,' he posted. McCarthy was coming off a solid start to his rookie season after throwing for 188 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in his first preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He went 11-for-17 passing in the contest.
