Vikings reveal J.J. McCarthy plan before Week 18 Packers clash

Before heading into an offseason that could be full of changes, the Minnesota Vikings will take the field one final time in the 2025 campaign when they face the Green Bay Packers in a Week 18 matchup on Sunday.

After he missed last week's contest against the Detroit Lions with a hand injury, the Vikings revealed on Friday that J.J. McCarthy will return to the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Packers.

The start will be McCarthy's 10th of the season, and it will come against a Green Bay team that is expected to rest several notable starters as they get ready for the first round of the playoffs.
