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.

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

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.

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...

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.
Referee Carl Cheffers announces over the in-stadium speakers that "the 11th player was running off the field," referring to LB Ivan Pace Jr. bolting on Green Bay's field goal attempt.
Vikings coaches got a timeout in before the penalty. McManus makes a 32 yarder and it's 10-3, Packers

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.

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.

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.
