The NFL Office of Gameday Accountability<\/a> will collect two significant fines from Minnesota Vikings<\/a> defenders for their on-field actions during the team’s defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers on “Thursday Night Football.”<\/p>\n

During the first quarter, edge-rusher Dallas Turner “launched” while making a stop. The league penalized him for unnecessary roughness and fined Turner $19,907 for the offense. <\/p>\n

In the following period, linebacker Blake Cashman used his helmet illegally as part of a play. NFL officials hit him with an unnecessary roughness penalty totaling $23,186. It was Cashman’s second game back since he suffered a hamstring strain during the season-opener against the Chicago Bears. <\/p>\n

Neither Cashman nor Turner faces a suspension.<\/p>\n

\"Dallas<\/p>\n

Minnesota next takes the field on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy will be back in the starting lineup after Carson Wentz underwent surgery to repair an injury to his non-throwing shoulder.<\/p>\n

McCarthy played just two games to begin the season before he sustained a high-ankle sprain, which knocked him out for the next six weeks (five games). As a still highly inexperienced quarterback at the NFL level, the timing of the 22-year-old QB’s return is not ideal for the Vikings (3-4).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Vikings, to this point in the season, had the easiest schedule in the\u00a0NFL<\/a>. The Vikings going forward have the hardest schedule in the NFL,\u201d\u00a0said Danny Heifetz<\/a> of The Ringer on the October 22 edition of The Bill Simmons Podcast. \u201cSo McCarthy comes back, he\u2019s gonna get rocked. He\u2019s clearly not ready for the NFL, and the Vikings are a win-now team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minnesota plays Detroit twice, the Green Bay Packers twice, the Chicago Bears once and the Seattle Seahawks once over the final 10 games of the campaign. <\/p>\n
