What happened: Minnesota moved McCarthy after opening 3-0 with a 23-16 win at Tampa Bay. New York adds quarterback depth with Dart out for the season after knee surgery.
Why it matters: Kyler Murray holds the starting job in Minnesota with Carson Wentz behind him. McCarthy, 23, leaves on a rookie contract after going 6-4 as a starter. Minnesota faces a 2027 quarterback decision with no long-term answer settled.
By the numbers: Vikings: 3-0 after Week 3, 23-16 at Tampa Bay. Wentz (2026, Vikings): 2 GP, 23-of-39 for 276 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 106.4 rating.
What to watch: Watch whether Murray keeps the job through Week 4 and how quickly McCarthy dresses in New York.
