“Dressed like a mechanic in the Motor City 😭”
“JJ woke up this morning and chose the brunch highlights 😎🔥🏈”
“If the o-line can show up, JJ will have a good game. If he runs for his life, we’re screwed.”
“They’re showing the Packers vs Panthers game on this one? Wtf FOX???”
“I hope he remembers what team he plays for!”
The young quarterback will be under pressure to perform for the Vikings, as they will be without backup quarterback Carson Wentz for the remainder of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery this week.
The Vikings added veteran quarterback John Wolford to the practice squad after Wentz’s surgery. Undrafted rookie Max Brosmer is expected to be McCarthy’s backup for Sunday’s game.
