The Vikings signed McCain on Monday. McCain, who spent his 2023 campaign with the Giants, has found a new home in Minnesota. The nine-year veteran safety played just 19 defensive snaps across 10 appearances in 2023, so he'll likely be competing for a special-teams role ahead of the Vikings' 2024 season.

The Vikings signed McCain on Monday. McCain, who spent his 2023 campaign with the Giants, has found a new home in Minnesota. The nine-year veteran safety played just 19 defensive snaps across 10 appearances in 2023, so he'll likely be competing for a special-teams role ahead of the Vikings' 2024 season.
McCain isn't traveling with the Giants due to his illness, so he'd have to recover quickly and make his way to D.C. in order to be able to suit up Sunday. The veteran safety has worked primarily on special teams this year, though he logged a season-high 16 defensive snaps in last week's blowout loss to Dallas. If McCain sits out Week 11, he'd miss out on the opportunity to face his former team, as he worked as a starter for the Commanders in both 2021 and 2022.
