Source: Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy undergoes 2nd knee surgery

EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy underwent a second surgery earlier this week on his right knee as he continues to recover from a torn meniscus, a source confirmed Tuesday to ESPN.

Sources described this week's procedure as a biologic injection intended to address swelling in the knee that developed after an increase in activity during the rehabilitation process.
