The Vikings will need to pull off another unlikely upset against an NFC North foe to keep their postseason dreams alive.

The Minnesota Vikings are coming off a disappointing Week 11, where they lost to the Chicago Bears in a game that was a mixed bag for the team. And now, with a Week 12 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on deck, they will need to stay healthy to maintain their best chances.

However, according to ESPN insider Dan Graziano, the Vikings may finally be concerned with the play of their quarterback.

After not practicing on Wednesday, Vikings outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard and right guard Will Fries were upgraded to limited participation on Thursday, which is big for their potential availability on Sunday in Green Bay.

Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has struggled mightily this season, but he's confident he will turn things around soon.

PFF's Dalton Wasserman took a deep dive into the work of all 32 first-round draft picks who played in Week 11. PFF offers us some deeper insight into the performance, and Wasserman was able to lay out what the work of Jackson looked like.

By far the most frustrating thing about McCarthy is that his eyes are in the right place for a majority of these passes; his mechanics and accuracy just make it not matter. Jefferson w/free release vs Noah Sewell and he throws it to Duluth pic.twitter.com/0NaLimVVCh

Packers quarterback Jordan Love was listed as a full participant in practice. He wouldn’t say whether he would wear extra protection on his shoulder.

The Minnesota Vikings have been connected to a wild quarterback trade to replace the struggling J.J. McCarthy.
