O'Connell said it's unclear when the concussion happened. There isn't a hit the team or McCarthy, according to O'Connell, can pinpoint as the cause. He took five sacks in the game, including four in the second half.

J.J. McCarthy reported symptoms to the team and has been placed in the concussion protocol, Kevin O'Connell announced just now.

"Too early" to tell if he'll be available Sunday in Seattle. Max Brosmer will take first-team reps until McCarthy is cleared to return.

It was just the Vikings season passing by... RIP

Jordan Love opening throwing lanes with his eyes. Eric Wilson reading Love's vision and gets duped on the 18-yd catch and run that set up the Packers' opening TD.

Love did a similar thing to Byron Murphy Jr.'s zone coverage on third-down, 12-yd throw to Watson

Among other things, dropping edge players have caused McCarthy issues on sideline throws. He stuck on first read, Addison (bottom), for a bit too long on this 3rd and 12. Vikings end up w/ 3 guys on Parsons, interior twist causes some heat + Nailor isn't seen w/ good leverage downfield

McCarthy doesn't do his OL any favors on this one. Statue in the pocket as he stares down a Packers secondary rotating late from single-high safety to inverted tampa cover 2

Justin Jefferson looked like he wanted this one on 3rd and 9. McCarthy with a good climb of the pocket away from Parsons, looks to his right but checks down to Hockenson and the Vikings punt.

After J.J. McCarthy's first pass, a 15-yard throw to Jefferson, center Ryan Kelly and left tackle Christian Darrisaw slide left and rookie guard Donovan Jackson does not. Micah Parsons hits the gap created by that apparent mistake.

There's a luck factor to health in the NFL. The Vikings were one of the healthier teams in 2024 after some high-profile injuries in 2023. This year, it's ravaged the offensive line. They have missed 11 combined starts and parts of many more games.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Three quarters. That's how long the Vikings' starting offensive line played together this season before more injuries struck the group.

Donovan Jackson tells me "nothing is broken" with injured ankle, but an MRI was to come today www.startribune.com/vikings-vs-p...

I know man, but I got mouths to feed

Ivan Pace Jr. said postgame that he was called off the field by a coach ... said he was supposed to be on the field, still isn't sure why he was told to leave. Vikings ended up burning a timeout.

Christian Darrisaw suffered an ankle, not a foot injury, Kevin O'Connell said postgame. Darrisaw declined comment.

"There's nothing broken" with guard Donovan Jackson's ankle injury, he told me, but he'll undergo further testing tomorrow.

Vikings fall to 4-7 with the 23-6 loss in Green Bay. Their 3-0 lead in the first quarter was the only time they led today.

That's Bemidji State's own Gunner Olszewski for those crediting

Oh this is incredible

I know it’s only one state over, but it’s gonna be a long trip home for JJ McCarthy

The Vikings' starting five offensive linemen didn't see the field together until today, the 11th game.

Christian Darrisaw just joined Donovan Jackson on the sideline for the rest of the game. He's got a new injury: a foot issue.

How's Sam been this season? Anyone hear from him? (/s)

Jackson (ankle) ruled out, team says

Adam Thielen dropped a pass. J.J. McCarthy took another bad sack. The Vikings punted again. At least the next game will be after Thanksgiving, signaling a merciful end coming soon to this season.

Blake Brandel has replaced Donovan Jackson at left guard. Jackson was seen limping on the previous drive.

Green Bay is in clock-churning mode, handing off seven straight times for 43 yards. The Vikings trail 20-6 with 12 minutes left in regulation. The Packers have held onto the ball for over 13 minutes of the nearly 18 minutes that have ticked away in the second half.

Yeah that was a helluva play by Parsons

There was a collective gasp from folks on press row when Micah Parsons caved in the middle of the Vikings offensive line on that long third down...

Yeah, just saying in so many words that the secondary this year has not been as disruptive.

What was the last play on a pass that a Vikings defensive back made?

Third straight week with a massive special teams blunder when counting the game-losing, 53-yard kickoff return vs. the Bears last Sunday

Woof. Myles Price blocked into the punt after waving off teammates near his own goal line.

Leads to a Packers recovery and, two plays later, a Green Bay rushing touchdown.

Vikings trail 17-6 with 10:53 left in the third quarter.

Price's second turnover on special teams in the last 3 weeks
