Impact The battle for the Vikings' No. 2 quarterback job has been a fluid situation this summer, and J.J. McCarthy's absence Friday due to an ankle injury only served to add further intrigue. Wentz had already forced head coach Kevin O'Connell to modify his stance on the role being McCarthy's by going 18-for-25 for 173 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions over his first two preseason games, and McCarthy hurt his own cause in the second exhibition by missing two open receivers for potential touchdowns. Wentz drew the start in McCarthy's absence against Denver on Friday, and in a perhaps telling sign, was protected from injury by playing on only the first two drives.

"Possible that JJ McCarthy won't be a Viking": NFL analyst sounds alarm for young QB ahead of roster cutdown deadline Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy lost the starting role to Kyler Murray earlier this month. McCarthy is reportedly competing for the backup role with Carson Wentz.

AUGUST 26 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Steady in Saturday's preseason loss Wentz completed nine of 11 passes for 92 yards during the Vikings' 13-3 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

Impact J.J. McCarthy (undisclosed) served as the Vikings' starter for Saturday's game, with Wentz taking over under center in the second quarter. Wentz led two offensive series in the frame, with the latter being an eight-play, 57-yard drive that ended with a 52-yard field goal from Will Reichard as time expired, which were the only points the Vikings put up in Saturday's loss. Kyler Murray was named as Minnesota's starter earlier in August, but given McCarthy's shaky play in the team's first two preseason games, Wentz has a real chance of being named the team's backup QB for the regular season. The Vikings wrap up their preseason Friday against the Broncos.
