Vikings beat writer predicts J.J. McCarthy won't make roster

A prediction from The Athletic's Alec Lewis suggests that J.J. McCarthy, drafted by the Minnesota Vikings at No. 10 overall two years ago, will not make the team's 53-man roster as cutdown day approaches. McCarthy, who struggled in the previous season and missed the last preseason game due to an ankle injury, was overtaken by other quarterbacks for the starting job. Fans reacted to the news, referring to McCarthy as potentially one of the worst quarterback busts ever, while others speculated about his future in the league, including potential trades. The Vikings must finalize their roster by Sunday evening.
