J.J. McCarthy's rookie season is in peril as he's set to undergo surgery on his torn meniscus.

While it's still unclear how much time he will miss, his odds are on the move as Minnesota prepares to head into the 2024 NFL season without its No. 10 draft pick.

But McCarthy's odds aren't the only ones impacted by his injury news; Sam Darnold's are also on the move in the wake of the unfortunate J.J. news.

Darnold — the veteran QB who has been the anticipated starter since at least June — saw his odds for two major awards shorten Tuesday. It's even more likely now that he will take starter snaps as QB in Week 1.

His odds to win MVP went to +20000 from +30000 at FanDuel Sportsbook, which still makes him a bit of a longshot to win the top individual trophy.

However, Darnold is now squarely in the mix to win Comeback Player of the Year.

Those odds shortened to +1200 from +3000 at DraftKings Sportsbook.

He now has the sixth-best odds to win the award, trailing Aaron Rodgers (+140), Joe Burrow (+300), Kirk Cousins (+500), Anthony Richardson (+650) and Nick Chubb (+900).

Even before McCarthy's injury, some experts were backing Darnold as a possible longshot to win Comeback Player of the Year. FOX Sports gambling contributor Will Hill made the argument for him to win this honor back in June.

"Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell has a reputation for being able to develop quarterbacks and maximize their potential, and Darnold has the surrounding weapons to flourish, with wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison , as well as free-agent addition Aaron Jones at running back," Hill wrote at the time.

Hill added that if Darnold can "lead the Vikings to the playoffs with a talented roster alongside him, he is going to be viewed as a great redemption story, and will have a very realistic chance of winning the award."

Meanwhile, McCarthy's odds for Offensive Rookie of the Year plummeted.

Following his impressive performance against the Las Vegas Raiders in his preseason debut, McCarthy's odds to win OROY were as short as +1400 at some books.

Now that line has moved to as long as +4000.

McCarthy's odds to lead all rookie quarterbacks in passing yards also took a hit. He was +500 to lead all rookies in passing yards — tied for the third-best on the board — and is now +3000.

Bo Nix, who was tied with McCarthy, saw his odds move slightly to +440 from +500.

Currently, the Vikings' futures are holding steady. Their Super Bowl futures are still +8000, and their odds to make the postseason shifted only slightly to +265 from +280.

Their win total was not affected by the news and still sits at 7.5 wins.
