Vikings Weigh Week 7 QB Decision as McCarthy Returns to Practice, Wentz Evaluated for Shoulder

Kevin O’Connell plans to reassess the depth chart next week following the rookie’s bye-week work.

Overview

  • J.J. McCarthy returned to practice Monday and will continue to get reps through the bye, according to Kevin O’Connell.
  • The plan is for McCarthy to throw at the team facility during the off week as he advances from a high-ankle sprain, per CBS Sports.
  • Carson Wentz came back from the London win with soreness in his non-throwing shoulder and is undergoing further evaluation.
  • O’Connell declined to name a starter and said the staff will “pick it up officially next week,” leaving the Week 7 call open.
  • Wentz has produced 759 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions over three starts (Vikings 2-1), and undrafted rookie Max Brosmer is a reported contingency if needed.
