J.J. McCarthy will not play in the Arizona Cardinals’ preseason finale against the Vikings because of an ankle injury, according to reports. The team has him listed as unable to suit up for the game.
The injury affects the quarterback competition that continues behind starter Kyler Murray. With McCarthy sidelined, other options for backup reps are expected to take on more playing time in the final preseason matchup. Across the available reports, the key shared point is that McCarthy’s absence is directly tied to the ankle injury, with no game status changes indicated beyond him missing this specific contest.
