Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy will likely be ruled out of Sunday’s game vs. the Cincinnati Bengals due to an ankle injury, coach Kevin O’Connell said Monday.
The injury is not expected to be long term.
Carson Wentz is Minnesota’s likely starter for Week 3 against the Bengals.
Over his first two NFL starts, McCarthy has completed 24 of 41 passes for 301 yards with 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He has also rushed seven times for 50 yards and a touchdown, but his QBR of 20.4 ranks No. 32 of 33 qualified quarterbacks in the league.
