Doctors found during surgery that a full repair of his right meniscus was needed
Minnesota Vikings first-round pick J.J. McCarthy will miss the entirety of his rookie season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn right meniscus.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell made the announcement on Wednesday, saying the surgery was successful. However, doctors found a "repair was necessary which will end J.J.’s 2024 season."
So, instead of just a trim during the procedure, McCarthy needed a full repair that will require extensive rehab to get back on the field.
This is a developing story. More to come.
