Vikings QB McCarthy needs surgery on meniscus tear in right knee, a big setback in rookie’s progress
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy has a torn meniscus in his right knee that will require surgery. He was hurt during his preseason debut when he went 11 for 17 for 188 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against Las Vegas. McCarthy reported persistent soreness to the team when players reconvened. The 10th overall pick in the draft was sent for further examination that revealed the injury. The rehabilitation for a full repair is much longer than if there’s just a partial tear and only a trim is needed. The severity won’t be known until the procedure takes place.

Coach Mike McCarthy says Guyton will work with the first team as practice resumes at training camp. McCarthy also says rookie third-round pick Cooper Beebe will get first-team reps at center. Dallas drafted Guyton 29th overall this year with the idea the former TCU and Oklahoma lineman could become the starting left tackle.
