Vikings' J.J. McCarthy Declares Full Recovery from Knee Injury

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has confirmed he is fully recovered from a torn meniscus that kept him out of the entire 2024 season, stating he is '100%' during an appearance on the 'Up & Adams' show. After undergoing surgery in August 2024, McCarthy emphasized the positive aspects of his recovery process, describing it as an 'ultimate blessing' that allowed him time for reflection and building consistency. The Vikings have expressed their commitment to McCarthy as their future starter, especially after former quarterback Sam Darnold's departure and the decision not to pursue Aaron Rodgers. Despite lingering speculation about his readiness and starting position, McCarthy's optimism and maturity have bolstered the team's confidence in him. With the regular season approaching, McCarthy is poised to lead the Vikings into a new chapter as they prepare for the 2025 season. Fans are encouraged by his progress as he aims to take the reins this September.
