With McCarthy sitting out due to a sore ankle, the quarterback depth chart remains unsettled. 'This was his one last chance before the season started to give me some confidence in him as the backup quarterback, and he did not do that because he did not play,' Darren said. Yet he supports keeping McCarthy: 'I want J.J. McCarthy to stay on this team right now… at times, he showed ability to move the team and have the offense hopping.'

McCarthy's sore ankle kept him out of preseason, missing his last chance to build confidence.

McCarthy sat out the preseason with a sore ankle and did not play in what Darren described as 'his one last chance before the season started to give me some confidence in him as the backup quarterback.' Despite this missed opportunity, the source supports keeping McCarthy on the roster, noting 'at times, he showed ability to move the team and have the offense hopping.' The injury and lack of preseason reps create Week 1 uncertainty about his readiness as backup.
