Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said QB J.J. McCarthy "is progressing."

O'Connell added the swelling has come down for McCarthy. It's going to be about evaluating grip strength, O'Connell said, to see if he can go Sunday against Green Bay.
J.J. McCarthy (hand) has suffered a hairline fracture and is out for Week 17. Max Brosmer is expected to start.
Fantasy Impact
It’s awful timing, as McCarthy was on a roll. Brosmer was abysmal in his one start, which will severely limit the upside of every pass catcher in the offense. McCarthy may return in Week 18, but his season may be over.

Fantasy Impact
McCarthy exited this past Sunday's game against the Giants due to a hand injury. He gave way to backup Max Brosmer, who will likely get the nod for the Vikings on Thursday.
