Vikings expect to have both of their starting offensive tackles today vs. Lions
Our Summary
Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is set to return to the field today, with both his offensive tackles, Christian Darrisaw and Brian O’Neill, expected to play despite being listed as questionable with knee injuries. McCarthy has been sidelined since Week Two due to an ankle injury and previously faced challenges with pass protection, having been sacked nine times over 41 pass attempts. The anticipated return of a healthy offensive line could improve McCarthy's protection. The Vikings, currently holding a 3-4 record, are 8.5-point underdogs against the 5-2 Detroit team today.
