J.J. McCarthy Returns to Limited Practice with Hand Fracture, Week 18 Status Uncertain

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (right hand) returned to limited practice Wednesday, his first session since a Week 16 hairline fracture. He remains day-to-day after missing Week 17 but has had positive throwing sessions. His availability for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Packers is uncertain, with Max Brosmer ready to start if needed. McCarthy has completed 57.3% of passes for 1,450 yards, 11 TDs, and 12 INTs in nine games this season. He would be in play for superflex leagues if he starts.
