Minnesota Vikings final injury report highlighted by starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy and multiple trench players
J.J. McCarthy and Donovan Jackson are officially out with many more key players listed as questionable for the Minnesota Vikings.
The Minnesota Vikings are entering Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks in desperate straits. They have just six games left in the season and are four games out of a playoff spot. If they want any semblance of a chance to make the playoffs, they have to get a win.
The biggest question was with quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Would he be able to make it back less than one week after suffering a concussion? He did not pass concussion protocol, which means Max Brosmer will be making his first start. Will he have a healthy offensive line to help protect him? We won’t know until Sunday, as the final injury report gave us multiple pieces of information.

Observations
- Jackson officially being out is definitely concerning, but Blake Brandel is more than capable to step in at guard and be a servicable player.
- Greenard practicing all week is huge for the Vikings. They will need him to make an impact on Sam Darnold.
- The big one here is McCarthy being out with a concussion. Head coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed that he didn’t clear concussion protocol, but is happy with where he’s at.
