The Minnesota Vikings' quarterback J.J. McCarthy is making a comeback after a high right ankle sprain, but his return to the starting lineup for Week 7 remains uncertain. Coach Kevin O'Connell, who has been managing the team's quarterback situation, provided an update on McCarthy's progress during a practice session on Monday. Despite McCarthy's absence, the Vikings have been performing well with backup Carson Wentz, who has led the team to a 2-1 record in the past three games. Wentz's leadership and resilience, despite a sore left shoulder, have been commendable. However, McCarthy's return is a significant focus, as he has only had one full week of practice all season, which could impact his performance. O'Connell is cautious about predicting McCarthy's health status, emphasizing the importance of a gradual recovery process. The team's strategy for the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles will be determined by McCarthy's progress and the team's overall performance this week.
