Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz jogged to the locker room before halftime in London today after suffering a shoulder injury, but he was back on the field for the start of the second half.

Nine years later, another injury to a Vikings quarterback …

If an ugly, not as close as the score indicated, Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons wasn’t enough, the Minnesota Vikings also came out of the game with some notable injuries. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a high ankle sprain in the game, and he’s expected to miss 2-4 weeks. Running back Aaron Jones left the loss to Atlanta with …

Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz will make NFL history when he steps on the field against the Bengals this Sunday.
