J.J. McCarthy's first full season as a pro won't be quite so full after all.
The Minnesota Vikings quarterback suffered an ankle sprain during his team's "Sunday Night Football" loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
O'Connell also shared that the Vikings are already preparing to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday without McCarthy under center.
Carson Wentz is the Vikings' backup quarterback and will make the Week 3 start against Cincinnati if McCarthy is ruled out.
It's the second lower-body injury of McCarthy's pro career. His first, a torn meniscus in his preseason debut last year, knocked out last year's No. 10 overall pick for the entirety of his rookie season.
Through two career regular-season games, McCarthy is 24-of-41 passing (58.5% completion rate) for 301 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, currently tied with six other players for the league lead.
