The numbers speak for themselves. A.J. Brown is tied for 66th in the NFL in receiving yards (151) with JuJu Smith-Schuster (he's cooked) and rookie Elic Ayomanor (he's on the worst offense in football). OK, that's discouraging, but not terrible. Well, just wait.

McCarthy was listed as a non-participant as the Vikings continued working to prepare for Sunday’s game against the Browns in London. Carson Wentz remains in line to start that game with a McCarthy return on Friday opening the door for the 2024 first-round pick to return from an ankle injury after the Vikings’ bye week.
