Vikings to start Carson Wentz on Thursday
Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell announced that Carson Wentz will start at quarterback for the team’s game against the Chargers as J.J. McCarthy is still not ready to return from a sprained ankle injury. Although McCarthy is making progress, he will serve as the emergency third quarterback for the game. O’Connell is optimistic about McCarthy’s recovery and hopes he will be ready to play next week. Wentz, who has started four games, has performed decently with 67% completion rate and 5 touchdowns. The Vikings will have more time to prepare for their next game against the Lions in Week 9.
