"MINNEAPOLIS -- Carson Wentz will start at least one more game at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed Sunday after the team's 48-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Wentz completed 14 of 20 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns Sunday while playing in place of J.J. McCarthy, who is recovering from a right high ankle sprain. The game got so out of hand that backup Max Brosmer replaced Wentz with 11:07 remaining in the fourth quarter."
"ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported that McCarthy would need two to four weeks to recover, which means Wentz has always been in line to play in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin. It's also possible that Wentz could start the team's Week 5 game in London against the Cleveland Browns, with McCarthy returning after the team's Week 6 bye."
Carson Wentz will start at least one more game for the Minnesota Vikings while J.J. McCarthy recovers from a right high-ankle sprain. Wentz completed 14 of 20 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns in the 48-10 win over the Bengals, and Max Brosmer played late in the fourth quarter. ESPN reported McCarthy may need two to four weeks to recover, making Wentz likely to start Week 4 in Dublin and possibly Week 5 in London. Coach Kevin O'Connell emphasized protecting McCarthy's health given his mobility. McCarthy's early QBR sits at 20.3.
