EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings returned from their bye week, not yet ready to rule J.J. McCarthy in or out at quarterback after missing the past three games with a sprained ankle. McCarthy was back at practice with the Vikings for their light workout on Monday afternoon, after spending much of the week off working with coaches on some of the finer points of the position where progress has been hindered by injury. Coach Kevin O'Connell said he was “very fortunate” to have that time on the field with his protege.
