Vikings sign QB Matt Corral after placing J.J. McCarthy on IR

The Minnesota Vikings officially ended the season of rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy on Friday, placing him on injured reserve two days after surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.

To fill his roster spot, the Vikings signed free agent quarterback Matt Corral, a third-round pick of the Carolina Panthers who has also spent time with the New England Patriots and the UFL's Birmingham Stallions. Corral will join quarterbacks Sam Darnold, Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall on the Vikings' roster.
