Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy reported right knee soreness on Monday, causing him to miss the team's night practice.
The news comes after McCarthy's impressive preseason debut on Saturday, where he threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns.
Coach Kevin O'Connell emphasized the importance of taking precautions with McCarthy, a key player for the team, and plans to further evaluate his injury.
O'Connell is unsure if McCarthy will travel with the team this week, as he was set to receive more practice snaps with the first-team offense.
