After answering multiple questions about J.J. McCarthy, the first-round draft pick who didn’t play as a rookie because of a torn meniscus, O’Connell provided an important update about the future franchise quarterback as the Vikings arrived back in the building for the start of the offseason program.

The Minnesota Vikings had bad injury luck with quarterback J.J. McCarthy ahead of his rookie campaign. However, the opposite appears to be true as the 22-year-old begins working to prepare for his second NFL season. Minnesota announced on Monday, April 21, that McCarthy is entirely healthy and will participate in all preseason activities.
