Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, is out for the entire season after tearing the meniscus in his right knee over the summer.
But the Vikings have constructed a plan for developing him from the sidelines nonetheless.
According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, "To optimize McCarthy's development while on injured reserve, Sam Darnold agreed to wear a modified camera on his helmet during practices and walk-throughs. McCarthy uses the video to simulate practice reps via virtual reality."
The Vikings could have an interesting decision to make this offseason, however.
