The Carson Wentz Bowl is officially on.
After a week full of uncertainty, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell named Carson Wentz the starting quarterback for the Week 7 matchup against the Eagles at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.
Wentz will start with undrafted rookie Max Brosmer serving as the backup. J.J. McCarthy, the No. 10 pick in the 2024 draft who is still considered the franchise quarterback in Minnesota, will be the emergency No. 3 quarterback as he works his way back from a high ankle sprain.
