This is tough not only for Minnesota Vikings fans but also for football fans in general like me who were looking forward to seeing how JJ McCarthy's play would transition to the NFL. Now we just have to wait and see, but since he is undergoing surgery, we don't know how long it will be before we see him play.
Yeah… that’s a shame.
