The Minnesota Vikings were dealt an early setback in their season opener against the Green Bay Packers when quarterback Kyler Murray left the game with a concussion. With Murray unable to continue, head coach Kevin O’Connell turned to veteran backup Carson Wentz.
Wentz has emerged as the leading option to start in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears, according to FOX Sports While the Vikings have yet to provide a timeline for Murray’s return. Minnesota’s quarterback depth chart currently has Wentz ahead of J.J. McCarthy, who is listed as the team’s third quarterback. Another fan supported Wentz as a starting option based on his production but raised concerns about his durability. A similar reaction read , “He’s a good backup, but I feel like his play style will get him injured again. He seemed to be banged up already during this game.”
“Should be the starting qb moving forward but his injury history concerns me,” the user tweeted .
