Vikings QB Carson Wentz will miss the rest of the season with a left shoulder injury that needs surgery, according to multiple reports. Wentz originally suffered the injury on Oct. 5 and has since been visibly bothered by it at points in every start.
Vikings QB Carson Wentz will start Thursday night's game vs. the Chargers, HC Kevin O'Connell announced Tuesday. QB J.J. McCarthy "is not there yet" with his ankle, McCarthy said. The second-year QB was never likely to return on this short week, but we're tentatively expecting him back for Week 9.
Vikings QB Carson Wentz will start this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles, HC Kevin O’Connell announced Friday. QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) was limited in practice this week but will be the emergency third QB for this game. It sounds like Minnesota wants him to get in a full week of practice before taking back over. Wentz is only in play in 2-QB and superflex fantasy leagues, but he’s been an upgrade for WR Justin Jefferson and the rest of the passing game.
Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. QB Carson Wentz, who's dealing with a left (non-throwing) shoulder issue, was a full participant. HC Kevin O'Connell declined to name a starter on Wednesday for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles, but we're guessing it'll be Wentz unless McCarthy gets in a full practice one of these next two days.
Justin Jefferson caught 7 passes for 123 yards, and Jordan Addison scored his first TD of the season to lead the Vikings to a 21-17 come-from-behind win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Browns in London. QB Carson Wentz gets another start but will be without three starting offensive linemen (C Ryan Kelly, RT Brian O'Neill, and LG Donovan Jackson). Minnesota gets a much-needed bye in Week 6.
Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell "declined to say if he was 100% committed to [QB J.J.] McCarthy resuming his starting role once he is healthy" on Monday, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. McCarthy is out of his walking boot as he works back from a high-ankle sprain. But he's already been ruled out for Week 4, and it sounds like he's not guaranteed to immediately get the starting job back once healthy.
Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said after Sunday's win over the Bengals that QB Carson Wentz will start next weekend's game against the Steelers in Dublin. That's not a surprise after reports that QB J.J. McCarthy would miss 2-4 weeks with his high-ankle sprain.
Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. He didn’t practice all week and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with his high-ankle sprain. QB Carson Wentz will step in as Minnesota’s starter but is only in play as a desperation start in 2-QB and superflex leagues.
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson managed only 3 catches in Sunday night's blowout loss to the Falcons. Jefferson turned the 3 grabs into 81 scoreless yards.
