Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed Tuesday that McCarthy needs the surgery but said the team does not have a specific timeline for how long he will be sidelined.

A decision will be made at the time of the operation whether McCarthy's meniscus requires a trimming or a complete repair, which will determine the length of his recovery.

McCarthy complained about knee soreness over the weekend, and underwent an MRI on Monday night.
