He finally made his NFL debut in 2025 as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings on September 8 versus the Detroit Lions. However, suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 2 against the Falcons.

McCarthy will not play in the Week 8 Thursday Night Football game vs. the Chargers.

According to NFL insider Dianna Russini, the Vikings hoped he would progress faster, but now want him to have a whole week of practice before returning.
