EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy reported right knee soreness to medical officials Monday, coach Kevin O'Connell said, and will not participate in the team's night practice.
The news came two days after McCarthy's encouraging preseason debut Saturday in a 24-23 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. He completed 11 of 17 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns, while also scrambling twice for 18 yards, and there was no indication of an injury either during or after the game.
O'Connell removed him late in the third quarter once he hit his scheduled play count of 30 snaps.
