Star rookie JJ McCarthy was placed on season-ending injured reserve in August after he had right knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
The Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback appears to have suffered a setback.
According to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, McCarthy underwent another procedure on his right knee this week after an increase in his rehab caused some swelling.
It was also reported that JJ McCarthy was given a biologic injection.
Seifert said this new procedure won’t impact his overall recovery as there are no changes to his recovery timetable.
