Minnesota Vikings general manager Nolan Teasley says he supports quarterback J.J. McCarthy and expects the young QB to be on the team’s Week 1 roster. Teasley also comments on McCarthy’s outlook, saying that his “story is not written,” while expressing excitement about his future.
Both outlets describe McCarthy as actively involved with the team’s practices. Yahoo Sports reports McCarthy is practicing, linking that status to the expectation that he will be available at the start of the regular season. The Athletic similarly frames Teasley’s remarks around confidence that McCarthy will be on the roster this season, but emphasizes Teasley’s broader supportive message about McCarthy’s development. Together, the coverage centers on Teasley’s public stance and McCarthy’s current practice participation rather than providing additional details about injury status or performance metrics.
