The Vikings’ 2024 season took a major hit over the weekend when it was revealed that rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy was experiencing knee soreness. It got worse when, on Tuesday, it was confirmed that he needed to have surgery on his knee, and then on Wednesday, they announced he was done for the 2024 season with a torn meniscus.
The entire landscape of the season has changed, and it now is worth going back through the schedule and re-picking games. Our original prediction included McCarthy taking over after the Bye Week but now we have to predict things with Sam Darnold running the show for the whole year.
Here are our updated predictions, which Vikings fans are sure to enjoy.
