It sure does look like J.J. McCarthy will be starting for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1, but he said the team hasn't told him as such.

The rookie added that he’s back to 100 percent after suffering a torn meniscus during an exhibition game last summer.

Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz reported last Friday that the Vikings had discussed a potential contract with Tannehill. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Monday on the Pat McAfee Show said these discussions had involved ascertaining if Tannehill would "theoretically be available" if needed.
