J.J. McCarthy out for Vikings' finale due to ankle injury

McCarthy suffered the ankle injury during last Saturday's game against the Ravens. He missed Wednesday's practice but participated in scaled-down sessions earlier in the week. The injury is not considered long-term.

With roster cuts approaching on Sunday, McCarthy's absence adds uncertainty to his roster status. He is competing for the backup spot behind Kyler Murray against Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer. michezonews.co.za
