McCarthy underwent a season-ending full meniscus repair on Aug. 14.
J.J. McCarthy woke up the morning of Aug. 11, walked down the stairs at his house and his knee buckled. The feeling of instability in his knee was something he hadn’t ever experienced before.over the Las Vegas Raiders. McCarthy was gearing up to start for the first time the following week in a preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, but the pain got worse on Monday, and he reported the injury to the Vikings training staff.
While McCarthy said he hadn’t experienced a feeling similar to the meniscus tear before, he was still “extremely shocked” when the MRI revealed the tear. McCarthy thought it was either a bruise or a strain. Once the tear was revealed, the next step was determining the surgery needed to address it. A trim is a four- to six-week recovery. The full repair takes a six- to eight-month recovery.

He said his adrenaline was flowing, even after he left the game, and didn’t feel the injury until his knee buckled walking down the stairs the following day. And while he’s a competitor who wanted to play, McCarthy also acknowledged the full repair was what was best for his long-term outlook.
