Before Wednesday’s surgery on Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy, which determined he’ll miss the entire season after undergoing a full repair of a torn meniscus in his right knee, coach Kevin O’Connell said they’ll be evaluating the open market for an additional quarterback — at least for camp and the preseason.
“We’re going to take a look at it,” O’Connell said Tuesday. “We’ll obviously have Sam [Darnold], Nick [Mullens] and Jaren [Hall] ready to roll. And then as we move forward if we determine based on kind of the plans for either practice or the preseason games that might be something we need to do.”
So the below depth chart is not a final product, but a snapshot of where the Vikings stand after McCarthy’s rookie season is done. Second-year receiver Jordan Addison also went down with an apparent ankle injury in Wednesday’s practice in Cleveland.

Starter: Sam Darnold
