Carson Wentz Questionable After Vikings Shoulder Injury Against Browns

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a left shoulder injury during the Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns in London, forcing him to leave the game before halftime. The injury occurred when Wentz scrambled and was tackled short of a first down, leading to his evaluation in the medical tent and subsequent X-rays on his shoulder. With Wentz questionable to return, the Vikings would need to rely on rookie third-string quarterback Max Brosmer, who had a strong college career at the University of New Hampshire and Minnesota. This situation leaves the Vikings in a difficult position, as their starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy is also injured, and the offensive line has been battling a fierce Browns pass rush, including All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett. The severity of Wentz's injury and his availability for upcoming games remain uncertain, putting pressure on the Vikings to possibly sign another quarterback if he misses extended time. The team's quarterback depth chart is now precarious, heightening concerns about their offensive prospects moving forward.
