Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy receives strong support from Justin Jefferson as he prepares to return from injury.

J.J. McCarthy is set to return in Week 9 against the Detroit Lions and all the pressure in the world is on his shoulders.

Pro receiver Justin Jefferson has had eight different starting quarterbacks during his six years in Minnesota. On Sunday, it's back to J.J. McCarthy, who returns against the Detroit Lions after missing the last five games with an ankle injury.

While speaking to reports, a Chicago Bears star made surprising comments on Minnesota Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson.

The Vikings may be destined to land one SEC defender in the 2026 NFL Draft if mock drafts are a sign of anything.

If the Falcons do trade Kirk Cousins, his former team, the Vikings, would be the only fit, per an insider.

J.J. McCarthy is set to return for Minnesota for his third-career start, but Detroit is coming off a bye week, and Chris Simms is predicting the Lions to whoop the Vikings with not much disagreement from Mike Florio.

The former No. 10 overall pick is set to make his third NFL start on Sunday, and he'll do it not far from where he played his home games during his time as quarterback of the Michigan Wolverines. McCarthy and the Vikings hope this week's game in Detroit — and the nine remaining in the regular season after it — can be the start of something special.
