McCarthy Suffers Hand Injury, X-Rays Negative but Status for Thursday Uncertain
Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy exited Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants with a right hand injury after a strip-sack in the second quarter. Initial X-rays were negative for a broken bone, but further imaging tests are scheduled for Monday. Prior to his exit, McCarthy rushed for a 12-yard touchdown, finishing with 108 passing yards, one interception, and 20 rushing yards. His availability for Thursday's game against the Lions is uncertain, with Max Brosmer in line to start if he's unavailable.
