EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy missed practice on Thursday to be with his fiancée for the birth of their first child.
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said McCarthy was at the facility in the morning before departing for the hospital with his fiancée, Katya Kuropas. She made the announcement in May on Instagram that the couple is expecting a boy. They've been together since high school at Nazareth Academy in La Grange Park, Illinois, a suburb west of Chicago.
