J.J. McCarthy’s regular season NFL debut won’t be coming this season.

The Minnesota Vikings’ rookie first-round pick underwent surgery on his torn right meniscus on Wednesday and will miss the 2024 campaign, head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters.

“It was a successful procedure, but it did reveal that a repair was necessary which will end J.J.’s 2024 season,” O’Connell said.

The former Michigan quarterback suffered the injury during his preseason debut Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders, when he played 30 snaps after relieving starter Sam Darnold. McCarthy finished 11 of 17 passing for 188 yards, two touchdowns and an interception before reporting knee soreness to Minnesota’s staff on Monday.

O’Connell said Tuesday there was a chance his season wouldn’t be in jeopardy if the doctors only had to trim the meniscus, but a full repair was required.

“Now it’s about the unique aspect of continuing a very critical development process for him, where maybe the physical reps aren’t going to be there in the short term, but this is going to be a small bump in the road,” O’Connell said. “Other quarterbacks in our league have gone through similar things early on in their journey and came back stronger and better than ever, and that is not only my expectation — I know that is going to happen for J.J. We will have a great plan for him not only in the quarterback room with those other guys, but a process so him and I can continue to build our rapport and make sure there’s a day-today football process, but early on, most importantly, it’s going to be about that rehab and the physical aspect of working his way back. I expect him to make a full recovery.”

McCarthy, who went 27-1 as a starter for the Wolverines before being selected 10th overall in April, had been backing up Darnold in training camp but could have challenged for the starting job at some point in 2024. Now, his NFL debut will have to wait until 2025.

HOLLAND, Mich. – A 25-year-old Michigan woman received a lottery ticket as a gift and ended up winning $300,000.

“My uncle bought the ticket for me as a gift, and we sat down and scratched it together,” she said. “When I revealed a $300,0000 prize, my first thought was, ‘Is this fake?’ I was immediately overwhelmed because I’ve never had this amount of money before. I am still in shock and trying to take it all in.”

EAST LANSING, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) — The Michigan State University Board of Regents is facing a federal lawsuit over Adolf Hitler’s appearance in a pregame quiz on video boards during a football game last year.

Carsilius Media, BV, a company that operates The Quiz Channel on YouTube and generates custom quizzes for businesses, filed the suit last week, seeking at least $150,000 in damages. The company claimed the university used one of its quizzes without permission, during an Oct. 21, 2023, game against the Michigan Wolverines and was “dishonest” when it blamed the company for using the quiz. 

Carsilius Media said the quiz focused on European history and figures and was first posted on its YouTube channel on Oct. 13, 2023. The company claimed it did not receive notice from MSU to use the quiz.

“The entire incident resulted from Michigan State University staff members knowingly and illegally infringing on Plaintiffs’ intellectual property and lying about it in the media. This has caused considerable damage to Plaintiffs,” the company said in a lawsuit, adding that it would have worked with MSU to custom a quiz for the event.

MSU has not yet responded to CBS News Detroit’s request for comment.

The university received backlash after it was shared on social media that Hitler and his birthplace, Austria, were flashed on the video boards more than an hour before kickoff. At the time, a spokesperson said the university was aware of “inappropriate content by a third-party source” and would “not be using the third-party source going forward and will implement stronger screening and approval procedures for all videoboard content in the future.”

According to the lawsuit, Carsilius Media also claimed it feared that MSU’s actions could have impacted an agreement it had with a third party over its revenue stream. Under the agreement, the company could take any action that would impair the value of the stream or The Quiz Channel and would be required to repay the $135,000 it received for the agreement.

“This threat is a direct result of Michigan State’s actions and statements made in attempt to cover up and deflect blame from their use of Plaintiffs’ intellectual property without consent,” the company said in the lawsuit.

The company also said, “In attempting to place blame on the Plaintiffs for Defendant’s unauthorized use of the European Quiz, Defendants broadcast to the public in general, or a large number of people information that was unreasonable and highly objectionable. This broadcast attributed to the plaintiff characteristics, conduct, or beliefs about the October 13 Quiz, and implied that the creators of the European Case Quiz sympathized and/or supported Adoph Hitler and the Nazis, or, at the very least, were unconcerned about same. These statements were false and placed the plaintiff in a false position.”
