J.J. McCarthy is back in the game. The Vikings quarterback took to the field at U.S. Bank stadium Saturday — a year after he tore his meniscus. The injury ended his rookie season. He said at a press conference this weekend that it felt “unbelievable” to compete again.

McCarthy played for only the beginning of the game. He completed his first four passes.

The Vikings beat the Houston Texans 20 to 10 in the first game of the preseason. Joining Minnesota Now to talk about it are our sports contributors, Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson.
