The Minnesota Vikings secured a 16–13 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday, but they were led by backup quarterback Max Brosmer for the entire second half after second-year starter J.J. McCarthy exited the game with a hand injury.
McCarthy has been plagued by injuries since being selected in the first round by Minnesota last season. He missed his entire rookie year and has already dealt with an ankle injury, a concussion, and now a hand injury this season.
Shortly after he left the game, a concerning prediction emerged regarding what the prognosis could be for the former Michigan Wolverines star.
According to Pro Football Doc David J. Chao, who reviewed the play, there is significant concern that McCarthy may have suffered a right metacarpal fracture — an injury that would likely require surgery and could end his season.
