Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy will likely need knee surgery after complaining of soreness this past weekend, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Once McCarthy undergoes the surgery, the team will then know just how much time the 2024 No. 10 overall draft pick will miss.
This could very well cement Sam Darnold's status as the team's starting quarterback for their Week 1 game against the New York Giants.
