Carson Wentz to start for Vikings in week 3 contest
The Vikings are turning to a familiar name in a tough moment. Rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy is sidelined with a high-ankle sprain after a bruising loss to Atlanta, where he was sacked six times and gave up three turnovers. That opens the door for NDSU grad Carson Wentz, who will make his first start in a Minnesota uniform against the Bengals. It’s also his first NFL start since the end of the 2024 season—a chance at redemption under the bright lights of week three.
