With Kyler Murray previously winning the starting quarterback job in Minnesota, J.J. McCarthy is trying to hold on to the QB2 role.<\/p>\n
McCarthy got the start and played the full first quarter against Baltimore on Saturday. He completed five of 10 passes for 81 yards.<\/p>\n
The 2024 first-round pick had two glaring misfires. He missed receiver Myles Price on the sideline on the first snap of the game. Later, McCarthy missed Price on a short throw at the front of the end zone.<\/p>\n
Along the way, McCarthy was sacked once and hit multiple times. The Ravens broadcast indicated that he was \u201cwincing\u201d on the sidelines after his final drive.<\/p>\n
Carson Wentz entered the game in the second quarter. Coach Kevin O\u2019Connell has left the door open for Wentz to potentially leapfrog McCarthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Kyler Murray previously winning the starting quarterback job in Minnesota, J.J.
