Vikings Start Max Brosmer; J.J. McCarthy Still in Concussion Protocol

Max Brosmer will make his NFL starting debut for the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. The announcement comes as J.J. McCarthy remains in the concussion protocol and has not been cleared to play.

Max Brosmer: From Undrafted Rookie to Starting Quarterback

Brosmer, an undrafted rookie, previously played at the University of Minnesota for one season, following a four-year stint at the University of New Hampshire. He is now set to lead the Vikings in a critical matchup.

Impact of J.J. McCarthy’s Injury

McCarthy’s absence due to concussion protocols leaves Brosmer as the sole quarterback on the active roster. The Vikings plan to promote at least one of their practice squad quarterbacks, John Wolford and Desmond Ridder, to support Brosmer during the game.

Additional Team Updates

  • Donovan Jackson has been ruled out for Sunday’s game.
  • Several players are listed as questionable:
    • Christian Darrisaw
    • Jonathan Greenard
    • Josh Metelius
    • Theo Jackson
    • Jalen Redmond

This matchup against the Seahawks will be critical for the Vikings, especially as they aim to solidify their performance with a new quarterback at the helm.
