Who will be the starting quarterback for the Vikings, Wentz or McCarthy?

Update: 2025-10-13

Description

The Vikings had a bye this weekend. Next, they play the birds. The Philadelphia Eagles, defending Super Bowl champions, will be at U.S. Bank stadium in Minneapolis on Sunday.

But there is a big question mark around who will start as quarterback. Carson Wentz has been starting while J.J. McCarthy nurses an injury.

As the Vikings gear up for that game, sports contributors Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson joined Minnesota Now with updates on football from around the Midwest – plus, other sports news.
