An NFL insider reveals the Minnesota Vikings' stance on J.J. McCarthy following his recent injury as the team heads into the offseason.

For the Los Angeles Lakers, the last few games have been a disappointment. The team has lost four of its last six games and currently sits on a three-game losing streak after an embarrassing Christmas Day loss to the Houston Rockets.

Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell announced Tuesday that J.J. McCarthy suffered a small hairline fracture in his throwing hand and will miss Thursday’s game against the Lions. The QB could play the Week 18 finale.
