Is J.J. McCarthy Playing Today in Vikings vs. Titans Preseason Game?

According to Seifert, the Vikings’ starters had a rigorous practice session on Thursday. They engaged in a scrimmage-like practice with many reps. The NFL insider followed up with another speculation.

“The Vikings didn’t confirm this, but the strong inference after seeing how much work the starters got today is that Friday night in Tennessee will be almost all or entirely second- and third-team players,” Seifert wrote.

McCarthy is not likely to suit up for the Week 3 preseason game against the Titans. The youngster is confident about his performance and playing in the NFL.

"Extremely high. Highest it's ever been, I feel like. Just looking at the guys around me, and the coaching staff, that gives me all the confidence in the world. … I get goosebumps just thinking about it," McCarthy said.

McCarthy does not have enough reps with his primary weapon, Justin Jefferson, under his belt and it might become concern for the franchise once the season begins.
