Overview
- Minnesota announced the practice-squad addition Wednesday as it rebuilds a thin quarterback group.
- Carson Wentz was placed on injured reserve with a dislocated shoulder that tore his labrum and fractured the socket after going 2-3 as the starter.
- J.J. McCarthy is expected to start against the Lions this week, with undrafted rookie Max Brosmer slated as the primary backup.
- John Wolford reunites with coach Kevin O’Connell from their Rams tenure and has seven NFL appearances, four starts, and 626 passing yards with one touchdown and five interceptions.
- Wolford, 30, has not appeared in an NFL game since 2022, indicating a role focused on preparation and emergency depth rather than immediate game action.
