Vikings Sign Matt Corral, Place J.J. McCarthy on Injured Reserve

With the team’s second preseason contest set to take place tomorrow, the Minnesota Vikings have added another quarterback to the roster.

The Vikings have announced that they have signed Matt Corral, and in order to make room for him they have officially placed rookie J.J. McCarthy on injured reserve.

With the Vikings placing McCarthy on IR now, I believe that squashes any potential chance for him to be designated for return in 2024, unless I’m misinterpreting the rule. I think in order to have the ability to bring McCarthy back they would have had to wait until final cuts are made on 27 August, but if I’m wrong I’ll make a correction.
