It’s still unclear if quarterback J.J. McCarthy will be available for the Vikings when they host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium.
He missed the 23-10 win over the Detroit Lions on Christmas due to a hairline fracture in his right hand, and while the swelling has gone down as he’s continued to receive treatment, head coach Kevin O’Connell would not give a definitive update regarding McCarthy’s availability for this weekend.
“He’s progressing,” O’Connell said. “It’s just going to be about working throughout it this week and seeing what his grip strength is like.”
Briefly
It doesn’t sound like rookie receiver Myles Price (ankle) and rookie defensive tackle Elijah Williams (ankle) will be available for the Vikings against the Packers.
