O'Connell keeps door open for McCarthy if he proves ready despite QB3 role.

Coach O'Connell emphasized McCarthy remains two snaps away from playing time and must continue preparing despite QB3 status. O'Connell noted McCarthy showed great engagement with the game plan and remains a beacon of energy on the team. The coach stated: 'If and when we feel like he is ready and gives us the best chance, being one snap away with limited reps, we can obviously do that,' indicating McCarthy has a path back if he demonstrates readiness, though there is limited room for further decline before the Vikings move on.
