There was speculation that J.J. McCarthy had a minor injury that the team used to secretly bench him following seven quarters of awful play and one quarter of hero ball. An alleged high ankle sprain buys the team some time, but while Carson Wentz is playing credible football, he seems the starter for the immediate future. Whether Kevin O’Connell can get McCarthy back on track remains to be seen, but the obvious is that he was not ready, and the team knew it. He drops down until he comes back and plays well.
Jeff Blaylock
Some bumps in the road are to be expected as McCarthy plays what is essentially a rookie season, and he's lost much of the early part of this season to an ankle injury. Have faith in Kevin O'Connell, who has faith in McCarthy.

According to multiple reporters on the scene, McCarthy was practicing on Monday during the media's brief viewing window. Carson Wentz, who has started the last five games for Minnesota, was not seen participating in the session.
