J.J. McCarthy ankle injury: out tonight in Denver

J.J. McCarthy, QB for the Minnesota Vikings, will not play tonight in Denver. According to ESPN's @SeifertESPN, McCarthy suffered a minor ankle injury last weekend against the Ravens, practiced lightly Monday and Tuesday, then sat out Wednesday. He did not feel comfortable enough to play, though the team has no long-term concerns.

What this means for your roster

If McCarthy is your starter tonight, he needs to come off. Check who the Vikings are turning to under center and treat this as a one-week absence unless more information surfaces before his next game. The lack of long-term concern from the team is a good sign for dynasty and redraft managers holding him, but tonight he is not an option.
