The Vikings have been attached to a lot of the same names in mock drafts, but there is a new one heading into Week 18.

The Minnesota Vikings tweaked their roster in multiple ways well ahead of their regular-season finale against the Green Bay Packers.

McCarthy’s last play in the Dec. 21 win in New York was a strip sack by Giants edge rusher Brian Burns. He was later diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his throwing hand, an injury in which the team could not pinpoint an exact origin.

EAGAN, Minn. — Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is "progressing" after injuring his hand in Week 16 against the New York Giants. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that his availability for the season finale Sunday against the Green Bay Packers will depend on how that progression goes throughout the week.

The Vikings star did not appreciate it in the moment. The post NFL Steps In With Disciplinary Action Over Vikings RB Aaron Jones appeared first on Heavy Sports.

A lot can change in a year. Just ask the Lions and Vikings, whose Christmas Day game was expected to amount to much more.

There won't be any real stakes next Sunday in Minneapolis, but that doesn't mean this rivalry game has nothing to offer.

The Minnesota Vikings may not have to look beyond the NFC North to find a challenger/replacement for quarterback JJ McCarthy.
