Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy Enters Concussion Protocol Amidst Struggling Season

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has entered concussion protocol and is likely out for Week 13, adding to his "miserable play" this season. His 57.9 passer rating is the lowest among starting quarterbacks with at least 150 attempts, significantly worse than other struggling QBs. McCarthy's inability to stay healthy and his poor performance have contributed to the Vikings' 4-7 record, leading to speculation they may need to sign a veteran to compete with him in 2026.
