Max Brosmer will start for Vikings, J.J. McCarthy has not cleared concussion protocol

Vikings quarterback Max Brosmer is set to make his first career start against the Seahawks on Sunday. Brosmer, an undrafted rookie who transferred from New Hampshire to Minnesota for his final college season, takes over for J.J. McCarthy, who remains in concussion protocol. Head coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed McCarthy's status and Brosmer's promotion to starter. With only two quarterbacks on the active roster, the Vikings will elevate either John Wolford or Desmond Ridder from the practice squad for backup duties. Additionally, Donovan Jackson has been ruled out for the game, while Christian Darrisaw, Jonathan Greenard, Josh Metellus, Theo Jackson, and Jalen Redmond are listed as questionable.
