Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (right hand) returned to full participation in Thursday's practice, putting him on track to play in Sunday's game against the Packers. He was limited on Wednesday in his first practice since injuring his throwing hand in the Dec. 21 win over the Giants.
McCarthy has a hairline fracture that forced him to miss the Christmas Day victory over the Lions. Max Brosmer started for McCarthy for a second time this season.
