J.J. McCarthy’s personality is a shot of oxygen for a Vikings franchise that, since Fran Tarkenton, has spent decades trying out the wrong young QBs.

The scene of quarterback J.J. McCarthy being mobbed by his teammates after barging into the visitor’s locker room on Sunday afternoon at Detroit’s Ford Field perfectly encapsulates how the Vikings seem to feel about their young signal caller.

This provides a great example of the power of under-center play action: Just the slightest step forward by Tyrel Dodson (No. 25) and Jordyn Brooks (No. 20) allowed Charlie Kolar to get down the seam, a throw Jackson loves.

With McCarthy finally making his return, the Vikings received huge injury news that is great for the young signal caller's return. NFL insider Ian Rapoport revealed inactives and actives for teams heading into Week 9, and the Vikings received some huge updates on two players that the team desperately needs.
