That's exactly it. My first reaction was this is nothing, not even worth responding to. Happens every week. If he's the starter in the regular season, it wouldn't even show up on the injury report.

But Vikings fans have earned every bit of their PTSD on injuries and I don't blame anyone for being a little nervous.

I don’t really see this as a big deal until they say it’s a big deal. Just not going to do anything stupid and push the issue until they can get him put through an MRI machine or get an X-Ray and know there’s no risk.

I would also argue that the more cautious they are the more likely it is he’ll be starting sooner than later. If they were hellbent on holding him out all season, I think they’d be more interested in getting him preseason work, whereas if he was on track for starting week 1, they’d probably be extra careful with the knee.

I didn't see anything unusual that happened in the game. He didn't get sacked, that I recall, so you have to wonder what happened to cause this. If it's on his plant leg this could linger after every game he sees action in.

Poor Sam Darnold. I've been reading the fan practice last night was subdued and quiet because everyone wanted to see McCarthy and were worried about his knee, lol.

Viking Nation is all about JJM.

I think for 10 million dollars, he's fine being Mr. Right Now and not Mr. Right

Yeah, really sucks. Relieved it's not an ACL, but this is going to set back his development quite a bit.
