Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy Misses Practice with Hand Injury, Status Uncertain

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (right hand) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate after leaving Sunday's win over the Giants with the injury. Initial X-rays were negative, but more tests were planned. With only two more chances to upgrade his participation ahead of Thursday's game against the Lions, his status is uncertain. In the event that McCarthy is unavailable for the contest, Max Brosmer would be in line to draw the start at QB for the Vikings.
