Overview
- The quarterback bruised his right hand on a follow-through late in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the Ravens and stayed in the game.
- He finished 20-of-42 for 248 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, adding 48 rushing yards on five carries.
- On Wednesday he was a limited participant, wore protective padding on the hand, and avoided right-handed throws during the media-viewable portion of practice.
- Head coach Kevin O’Connell said everything checked out on initial evaluation and does not foresee the injury affecting McCarthy’s preparation this week.
- McCarthy acknowledged the hand hurt the rest of the game, likening it to getting a hand slammed in a car door, as the Vikings balance his development with a recent history of missed time.
