Vikings injury report<\/b> shows multiple key contributors ruled out for Christmas Day against Detroit. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy<\/b> will miss the game with a hairline fracture in his right hand<\/b>, forcing rookie Max Brosmer<\/b> to start for Minnesota. The situation gets worse with tight end T.J. Hockenson<\/b>, running back Jordan Mason<\/b>, and center Ryan Kelly<\/b> also sidelined, leaving the Vikings dealing with significant personnel losses.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83d\udd25 Quick Facts<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • J.J. McCarthy<\/b> suffered a “very small” hairline fracture<\/b> in his throwing hand during Sunday’s win over the Giants<\/li>\n
  • Max Brosmer<\/b>, an undrafted rookie<\/b>, will make his second career start<\/b> for the Vikings on Christmas<\/li>\n
  • T.J. Hockenson<\/b>, a two-time Pro Bowler<\/b>, is out with a shoulder injury and won’t face his former team<\/li>\n
  • Ryan Kelly’s<\/b> season is over after suffering his third concussion<\/b> of the 2025 season<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    McCarthy’s Hand Injury Forces Vikings Into Backup Mode<\/h2>\n

    J.J. McCarthy<\/b> underwent MRI testing and additional evaluations<\/b> after Sunday’s 16-13 victory over the New York Giants<\/b>. The hairline fracture in his right hand<\/b> was discovered during assessment of his throwing hand.<\/p>\n

    Head coach Kevin O’Connell<\/b> announced the ruling on Tuesday, December 23<\/b>, confirming that McCarthy would miss Thursday’s Christmas game<\/b>. According to ESPN, the fracture is described as “very small,” but it’s serious enough to sideline Minnesota’s second-year quarterback for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

    Max Brosmer Steps In for Second NFL Start<\/h2>\n

    The undrafted rookie<\/b> gets his opportunity on the sport’s most prominent holiday stage. Brosmer starred for the University of Minnesota<\/b> in 2024, setting a school record with 268 completions<\/b> and throwing for 2,828 yards and 18 touchdowns<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    This marks Brosmer’s second career start<\/b> in the NFL. He previously started on November 30<\/b> against the Seattle Seahawks, where the Vikings suffered a 26-0 shutout loss<\/b> and he threw four interceptions. Now the rookie looks for redemption in Minnesota’s final game of the 2025 calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Player<\/td>\nPosition<\/td>\nInjury Status<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    J.J. McCarthy<\/b><\/td>\nQuarterback<\/td>\nOut (Hand Fracture)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    T.J. Hockenson<\/b><\/td>\nTight End<\/td>\nOut (Shoulder)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Jordan Mason<\/b><\/td>\nRunning Back<\/td>\nOut (Ankle)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Ryan Kelly<\/b><\/td>\nCenter<\/td>\nOut (Season-Ending)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

    Hockenson, Mason, and Kelly Join Injury Exodus<\/h2>\n

    T.J. Hockenson<\/b>‘s shoulder injury keeps the two-time Pro Bowler<\/b> away from his former team. Hockenson has caught 51 passes<\/b> for Minnesota this season entering the Lions matchup.<\/p>\n

    Running back Jordan Mason<\/b> exited Sunday’s Giants game early with an ankle injury. The Vikings’ leading rusher<\/b> was unable to practice all week and remains unlikely for the holiday clash. Center Ryan Kelly<\/b> suffered his third concussion of the season<\/b> against New York and was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

    Vikings Face Decimated Roster Against Detroit<\/h2>\n

    Minnesota enters Thursday’s game with 10 players on the injury report<\/b>, according to the latest Fox Sports injury update<\/b>. The Viking lineup has been significantly compromised heading into a critical matchup.<\/p>\n

    Backup offensive lineman Brian O’Neill<\/b> appeared on the injury report with a heel injury<\/b> but is still expected to play. The Vikings continue dealing with attrition as they prepare for Detroit’s playoff-positioned Lions on Netflix.<\/p>\n

    How Will This Impact the Christmas Game Against Detroit?<\/h2>\n

    The Lions (8-7) visit U.S. Bank Stadium<\/b> on a mission to keep their playoff hopes alive, while the Vikings (7-8) look to play spoiler<\/b>. Detroit brings their own injury concerns with left tackle Taylor Decker<\/b> ruled out due to a flu-like illness<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Max Brosmer taking over at quarterback<\/b> represents a massive shift for Minnesota’s offense. The offensive line troubles<\/b> combined with the loss of Hockenson and Mason<\/b> leave the Vikings’ attack substantially weakened compared to recent weeks.<\/p>\n

    \n“This changes everything for the industry.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
