J.J. McCarthy Returns to Practice as Vikings Keep Week 7 Starter Undecided

Health evaluations will guide Kevin O’Connell’s choice before Philadelphia.

Overview

  • The rookie quarterback practiced Monday for the first time since a high right ankle sprain suffered in Week 2.
  • Kevin O’Connell told reporters he plans to see how the week unfolds before naming a starter for Sunday.
  • Carson Wentz played through a sore non-throwing shoulder in the London win over Cleveland and continues to be evaluated.
  • Beat reporter Alec Lewis said he would not be shocked if Wentz’s shoulder issue is significant, noting the extent remains unclear.
  • Minnesota is 3-2 after going 2-1 with Wentz, will host the Eagles in Week 7, and saw several linemen return to practice as Aaron Jones remains on IR and Ryan Kelly is out indefinitely.
