KOC just mentioned in his presser that JJ is in concussion protocol. I'm not a cynical guy....but.....

J.J. McCarthy is in the concussion protocol, per Kevin O'Connell. Reported symptoms on the flight home last night. Brosmer time?

Max Brosmer will work with the first team while McCarthy remains in the protocol, but O'Connell isn't ready to say that McCarthy is out for Sunday's game in Seattle.

Hate to be an eeyore, but I see most likely 1 win if they keep playing like they have. Top 12 could turn into a top 6 pick.

Anyone got the stomach for Moore or Mendoza and a big re-do? 

I'm sick for the kid, but he's just horrible back there sometimes. It sure is looking like I completely got his NFL potential wrong. This team is hard to watch with him at QB. He's got some qualities you can't teach, but his accuracy is so inconsistently bad. I don't know how much longer KOC can keep him out there for the team's sake and the home fans are just going to boo the shit out of him. He doesn't look like a starting NFL QB....sigh. I really, really thought he'd be something different. If he gets benched, and I would guess at some point that will be considered, he's done in Minnesota. Maybe not today, this season....but as the long term answer. IMO, Brosmer is going to get a shot before the year is done so the staff can have a look. When JJ said this week that he has to do a complete brain rewire on how he was taught to play the QB position, my fan heart sank. This is the reason guys bust out or never make it, that very issue. I don't think I've ever seen a guy suck like this and rebound with his current team. 

Just another Viking's disappointment in a lifetime of disappointments following this organization. This is the year to put me over the edge I think, lol. Going to save myself some grief and stay away from some football games for a few weeks and take a break. Tired of it, man. Thanksgiving dinner always makes things better!

To see Anthony Richardson on the roster here next year...QB Competition.

We got 6 games to go - to see any signs of hope #9 is making progress and can handle the job. 

I think unless they think he is doing damage to himself (or as others have said, the team) then they're going to ride that pony till year is over...

Projected first-round draft positions for teams with a 4-7 record, according to an updated draft order from Week 12 of the 2025 season, are approximately the 9th to 12th overall picks.

Hell, they might be looking at a QB with first pick again? U never know...

Mark and Zygi,

What we saw today and what we've seen all season is the direct result of your decision, and your decision alone, to take a wild swing on an out of the box, zero experience hire in Kwesi to run and oversee your "competitive rebuild" model in hopes of getting to a Super Bowl. Four years later...countless misses on draft picks, almost 300 million spent in free agency, and this is the result. It hasn't worked and WILL NOT work going forward. Please look deep within yourselves, clean house in the front office, and please seek the appropriate assistance and counsel before making your next choice on the person to run your organization because you clearly have no idea what you are doing. The experiment is over and it's time to admit your mistake and pull the plug. The fans of this organization deserve better than the results on the field that you've given us. 

Sincerely,

Viking fans

I'd give a game ball to "Will the thrill" and Wright.

Grade wise:
    kicking         A
    kick returns   F
    Defense stop run   F
    Defense pass def   D
    Offense run      C when used in first half
    Offense pass     D
    Play calling        D

Let's do this!

This important...

Houston also had Davis Mills on Thursday night.

EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings activated center Ryan Kelly from injured reserve Saturday, completing his nearly two-month recovery from a pair of concussions that seemed to threaten his career.

Kelly, who signed a two-year $18 million contract with the Vikings in March after spending his first nine seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, has suffered a total of five documented concussions since entering the NFL. The Vikings diagnosed him with concussions during their games in Weeks 2 and 4 this season before placing him on injured reserve. He has played a total of 113 snaps in 2025.

Upon his return Sunday for the Vikings' game at the Green Bay Packers, Kelly will wear a new helmet model and is also likely to use a Guardian Cap, according to coach Kevin O'Connell. It will be the first game this season when all five members of the Vikings' starting offensive line have played together.

The Vikings opened Kelly's 21-day practice window November 12, and he followed with six symptom-free days of practice over the ensuing two weeks. O'Connell said this week that the Vikings were waiting until Kelly was "essentially banging down the door to get back on the field."

"You never want to go on IR," Kelly said upon returning to practice. "But I think in the grand scheme of things it was the best option to give me time to see specialists and do what I needed to do, and I'm grateful [the Vikings] had the had the foresight to do it."

The Vikings had already created a roster spot for Kelly by waiving cornerback Dwight McGlothern Jr. on Thursday. McGlothern re-signed Saturday to the Vikings' practice squad and was then elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game.
