Overview

• J.J. McCarthy practiced Monday for the first time since a high right ankle sprain, and his status to start against the Eagles remains to be determined.
• Kevin O’Connell declined to name a Week 7 starter, saying the choice will follow evaluations of McCarthy’s mobility and game‑week reps.
• Carson Wentz will practice with a sore left (non‑throwing) shoulder after the London win and has gone 2–1 in three starts during McCarthy’s absence.
• Minnesota opened linebacker Blake Cashman’s 21‑day return-from-IR window, with Brian O’Neill, Donovan Jackson and Michael Jurgens also set to resume practice work.
• Edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel’s neck issue leaves his availability uncertain, with O’Connell noting he will work on a side field as the team monitors progress.
