Vikings QBs Wentz McCarthy Limited on Injury Report Ahead Thursday Game

Both Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks, Carson Wentz and J.J. McCarthy, were listed as limited on the injury report ahead of their Week 8 Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Wentz is dealing with a left shoulder injury sustained in a recent game, while McCarthy continues to recover from a high ankle sprain suffered in Week 2 and has not fully healed. Despite these injuries, Wentz has started four games with a 2-2 record, completing 95 of 142 passes for over 1,000 yards, while McCarthy has been sidelined since Week 2 but remains the team's emergency quarterback. The Vikings have not yet confirmed the starting quarterback for the upcoming game, though Wentz appears poised to lead the offense again given the short preparation week. Other key players like Andrew Van Ginkel and C.J. Ham also remain limited or inactive due to injuries. Minnesota currently holds a 3-3 record and sits at the bottom of the NFC North standings as they prepare for their clash with the Chargers.
