We’ve seen O’Connell work with this kind of situation in the past with his QBs. And while it might not mean the door is open for Wentz to start once J.J. McCarthy is healthy, it’s certainly not closed,

Former Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will become the first QB in NFL history to start for six different teams in six consecutive seasons.

The progression for Wentz saw him grow to 5-foot-10 as a sophomore, to 6-3 as a junior, to 6-5 as a senior. As he rapidly grew into his frame, Wentz caught the attention of longtime Century football coach Ron Wingenbach.

McCarthy is unavailable to the Minnesota Vikings this weekend, so veteran quarterback Carson Wentz is poised to take over again.

As reported by CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell told the media on Wednesday that he will get reps in practice alongside backup quarterback Carson Wentz this week.

Former Eagles head coach Doug Pederson experienced two major quarterback controversies during his time in Philadelphia. But one had far more “tension” than the other. Pederson, the Super Bowl-winning coach, navigated a pair of controversies — Carson Wentz vs. Nick Foles and Wentz vs. Jalen Hurts — in his five seasons with the franchise.

ESPN's Kevin Seifert noted that the two passers are recovering from injuries sustained during the long European trip. While McCarthy went overseas with an ankle injury, Wentz hurt his shoulder in Week 5 in an attempt to pick up a first down.
