Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy sends strong message about whether he's ready to start in 2025
Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy was sidelined because of a right meniscus tear during his rookie season, but he's certain he's ready to rock in 2025.
"I know I'm ready to start," McCarthy said while grinning and wearing a backward baseball hat in a Tuesday news conference. "And I appreciate that question."
The 22-year-old then explained why he's brimming with confidence, despite his lack of experience.
"Because all the work I put in and just the confidence in my skills and abilities," McCarthy said. "And just being able to do my job and simplify things to the best of my ability every single day. And just taking it one day at a time, one play at a time. I have a tremendous coaching staff, a tremendous group of guys around me that I can lean on and they can lean on me."
Minnesota has yet to name McCarthy as its starter, but he's expected to be its QB1 next season. The Vikings let QB Sam Darnold sign with the Seattle Seahawks in free agency, even though he tossed the league's fifth-most touchdown passes (35 in 17 starts) last season.
The Vikings showed interest in free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers this offseason but didn't sign him. During the 2025 NFL Draft, Minnesota acquired backup QB Sam Howell in a trade with the Seahawks to add depth at the most important position.
The Vikings went 14-3 last season but lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC wild-card round. They hope McCarthy — the 10th overall pick of the 2024 draft — catapults them to the top of the conference.
McCarthy won a national championship at Michigan during the 2023 season but failed to produce eye-popping numbers throughout his college career. In three seasons with the Wolverines, he never threw for more than 2,991 passing yards and 22 touchdown passes.
While it's too early to determine whether McCarthy is the last piece of the Vikings' Super Bowl puzzle, at least he seems to have the swagger a franchise cornerstone needs.

Green Bay Packers Make Roster Change After Loss to Panthers
The Green Bay Packers are reeling after losing their dynamic tight end, Tucker Kraft, to an injury that will sideline him for the rest of the 2025 season. This devastating setback occurred during the team’s narrow 16-13 defeat to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Kraft, age 25, was injured midway through the third quarter while engaged in a routine blocking assignment. The severity became evident immediately as he required a cart to leave the field, signaling a serious issue for the promising player. With Kraft officially ruled out for the year, the Packers face a significant void in their offensive lineup. Team officials confirmed the news on Monday, prompting swift action to manage the roster implications. Prior to the injury, Kraft was enjoying a stellar third season with Green Bay. The ex-South Dakota State standout had amassed 32 receptions, 489 receiving yards, and six touchdowns across eight contests.His momentum was building, highlighted by a standout showing in Week 8. Kraft played a pivotal role in the Packers’ 35-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, hauling in seven passes for 143 yards and two scores. To accommodate Kraft’s placement on injured reserve, a roster spot has opened up. This development allows general manager Brian Gutekunst and the front office to explore options for a new tight end, should they deem it necessary. In the immediate aftermath, Green Bay opted for a different adjustment. On Monday, the organization revealed the release of linebacker Kristian Welch through an official statement on their website. Welch, a former Iowa Hawkeye, had been part of the practice squad all season. He earned a promotion to the active roster for the Panthers game, marking his 2025 debut, only to be cut shortly after. No further transactions tied to Welch’s departure have been disclosed yet. The Packers continue to evaluate their depth chart amid these changes. Looking ahead, Green Bay stands at 5-2-1 following the recent loss. They aim to rebound in a high-stakes Monday Night Football clash on November 10 against the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles, kicking off at 8:15 p.m. ET from the iconic Lambeau Field. This primetime showdown offers the Packers a chance to regroup without Kraft. Fans will watch closely as the team adapts to the absence of their breakout star in a crucial divisional push.

Packers linked to trade for former All-Pro to replace Kenny Clark
The Packers could look to upgrade the defense ahead of the NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, especially after Panthers running back Rico Dowdle paved the way to Carolina upsetting Green Bay Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field. Dowdle’s 130 yards and two touchdowns was the catalyst to an upset win over the Packers, but also served to further expose one of Green Bay’s most glaring weaknesses along the front seven. Could Packers trade for Calais Campbell? If general manager Brian Gutekunst is working the phones in hopes of replacing the run-stuffing interior lineman the Packers traded away in Kenny Clark as part of the Micah Parsons blockbuster this past summer, Calais Campbell could be an ideal fit. Ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, Pro Football Focus lists the Packers as one of Campbell’s best fits and possible trade destinations. "Even at 39, Campbell has still been an above-average player for the Cardinals this season," Bradley Locker writes for PFF. "He’s on track for a 15th straight year with a 71.0-plus overall PFF grade, and has been a well-rounded addition for Arizona’s new-look defense. Campbell has generated 11 pressures while also producing a 70.0 PFF run-defense grade. "The Cardinals’ promising start has taken a wayward turn for the worst, one that doesn’t seem especially salvageable. With Campbell at his age and on a one-year deal, shipping him away — particularly to pave the way for playing time for younger players — could be logical. Kansas City’s 28.8 run-defense grade by interior defenders is the lowest in the NFL, and a reunion in Jacksonville isn’t out of the question." So far this season, Campbell — who boasts 113.5 sacks through 18 seasons — has three sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss. He is still playing at a high level despite his advanced age and the trajectory of the Cardinals’ 2025 campaign. Arizona’s season has quickly fallen off a cliff, but Campbell could have the chance to chase a Super Bowl ring if the Packers pull off a trade. He would immediately become a key piece along defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley’s front seven.
Buffalo Bills receive devastating news on injured rookie CB
Not the news Buffalo Bills fans wanted to hear. Head Coach Sean McDermott delivered a troubling update on Dorian Strong during a Tuesday afternoon press conference, pointing toward a long-term absence for the Bills’ rookie cornerback. The sixth-round pick has been dealing with a neck injury which led to his placement on Injured Reserve on Oct. 4, and entering Week 10, McDermott says that Strong has not received an encouraging update regarding his ailment. “I do have some more clarity, it’s not good in terms of the reports and everything,” said McDermott. “I don’t want to get into where it may go. It’s not moving in the direction we would like it to at this point. I’ll stop there just out of respect for Dorian.” Strong was selected by the Bills with the 177th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft and went on to earn the start in the first game of his NFL career in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens in place of injured veteran Tre’Davious White. Strong played in each of the Bills’ first four games of the season, but was injured before Buffalo’s Week 5 matchup against the New England Patriots and it now appears he has been lost for the year. The next question is, will this injury impact his career? Neck injuries are tricky and often dealt with conservatively. “He and I have had some conversations over the last few days and I wish the reports were better at this point,” added McDermott. Strong recorded 10 tackles during four games in his first professional season. — Sign up for OnSI’s Free Buffalo Bills Newsletter —
