Tom Brady Rumors Ignite for Vikings
Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy tore his meniscus last weekend, sidelining the young Wolverine for all or most of the 2024 campaign. The injury shoved veteran passer Sam Darnold to the top of the depth chart — if he wasn’t there already — and Darnold will take the first snaps of the season in 23 days at the New York Giants.
Santana's sacrifice fly in 9th off All-Star closer Yates sends Twins past Rangers 3-2
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Carlos Santana hit a sacrifice fly off All-Star closer Kirby Yates in the ninth inning and the playoff-contending Minnesota Twins won 3-2 at Texas on Thursday night in the series opener against the reigning World Series champion Rangers. Santana’s deep fly to right-center came after Yates (4-2) issued consecutive one-out walks and then threw a wild pitch. “He’s seen it all ... he really knows what he needs to do,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said of Santana. “We don’t need a bomb. We don’t need really anything but a barrel. He got the pitch up and drove it out there. Nice job, professional.” Willi Castro homered for the Twins (68-53), who moved within four games of idle Cleveland for the AL Central lead. Minnesota currently holds the American League’s second wild card.
NFL Fans Think Tom Brady Is Making A Comeback To Shocking New NFC Team After Latest Developments

Ravens, Chargers, Could Lose Trade Target to Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings had a rough 24 hours. After watching Kirk Cousins depart for the Atlanta Falcons, the team signed Sam Darnold as a bridge quarterback for first-round pick J.J. McCarthy. Unfortunately for everyone involved, McCarthy suffered a season-ending injury and will miss the entirety of 2024. Right now, Minnesota’s depth chart consists of Darnold, Nick Mullens, and Jaren Hall. These three are not good enough to make it through a full 17-game season, so the Vikings could trade for an experienced starter like Bailey Zappe.
Another Unsung Viking Comes out of the Woodwork
Nick Mullens didn’t even play for the Minnesota Vikings in the club’s first preseason game. He evidently didn’t need the action as a veteran entering his eighth season. Yet, in the same now-dreadful preseason contest, Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy tore his meniscus and will miss the entire 2024 campaign.
