For the third time in the last three seasons, the Minnesota Vikings have lost a quarterback to a season-ending injury before Week 9.
Two years ago, it was a Week 8 Achilles injury to Kirk Cousins. Last year, it was a torn meniscus that ended first-round pick J.J. McCarthy's rookie season before it even began. On Oct. 27, the Vikings announced Carson Wentz will miss the remainder of the 2025 season after undergoing a season-ending surgery on his left shoulder.
Wentz, 32, first injured his shoulder in a Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns. He had been wearing a brace on his arm in every game since. He was noticeably grimacing in pain and favoring his injured shoulder on "Thursday Night Football" on Oct. 23.
Now, he's undergoing surgery to repair the shoulder ailment and will miss the rest of the season.
The 10-year NFL veteran began the season as Minnesota's backup to the second-year McCarthy. When the youngster sustained a high ankle sprain in Week 2, Wentz was thrust into the starting role. His start in Week 3 made him the first quarterback ever to start games for six different teams over a six-season span.
McCarthy is expected to return from his ankle injury in Week 9's game against the Detroit Lions. Undrafted rookie Max Brosmer, who served as Wentz' backup over the last several weeks, is expected to remain in that role behind McCarthy.
