In August, Chris Larson, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Golden Valley, Minn.-based Twin Cities Orthopedics and head team physician for the Minnesota Vikings, performed knee surgery on Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
Mr. McCarthy has been rehabbing since undergoing the procedure, but recent swelling resulted in a setback, according to a Nov. 13 report from ESPN.
Mr. McCarthy reportedly underwent a second surgery on the knee and was given a biologic injection.
His return to the field in 2025 is not expected to be affected by the second procedure, according to the report.
