Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz only missed one play in Sunday’s win over the Browns in London, but he’s still getting a little extra medical attention now that the team is back in Minnesota.
Wentz injured his left shoulder before halftime and went to the locker room a little early to get it checked out. He returned for the second half and led a game-winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, but head coach Kevin O’Connell said at his press conference that Wentz is going for further consultations about the injury.
“He’s still getting further evaluation, but he’s pretty sore in that left shoulder,” O’Connell said.
J.J. McCarthy has missed the last three games with an ankle injury. O’Connell said last week that there was hope he would practice, but that didn’t happen. The team has a bye this week, so both players will have some time to work their way back ahead of a Week 7 game against the Eagles.
