The Minnesota Vikings insist they have not given up on J.J. McCarthy. Their depth chart tells a more complicated story.
Minnesota general manager Nolan Teasley reaffirmed the organization's belief in McCarthy this week and said he expects the former first-round pick to remain with the Vikings. McCarthy currently projects behind Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz after another injury-disrupted offseason, according to the New York Post.
That is an extraordinary position for a quarterback selected 10th overall only two years ago. It does not necessarily mean his opportunity has ended.
Minnesota originally drafted McCarthy as its possible long-term answer. A torn meniscus erased his rookie season before it began. Ankle and concussion issues then limited him to 10 games last year, preventing the Vikings from receiving a clean evaluation of his development.
