Vikings' Carson Wentz: Throws three TDs after Murray injury
Wentz completed 12 of 19 passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns after replacing Kyler Murray (concussion) in the first quarter of Sunday's 39-22 win over the Packers. Wentz also rushed five times for minus-1 yard and threw a successful two-point conversion.
Wentz was ready to play after Murray's first-quarter exit, and the veteran backup orchestrated an impressive comeback, during which the Vikings scored 22 unanswered fourth-quarter points. Wentz connected with Justin Jefferson for a 39-yard touchdown in the second quarter and a nine-yard touchdown in the fourth, sandwiched around a 16-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Hockenson in the third quarter. If Murray doesn't clear concussion protocol in time to face the Bears on the road in Week 2, Wentz would presumably be tabbed for the start over J.J. McCarthy.

Vikings' Carson Wentz: Opening season as QB2
Coach Kevin O'Connell announced Wednesday that Wentz will serve as Kyler Murray's backup for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Wentz gets the QB2 nod over J.J. McCarthy, who will likely be inactive as the emergency third quarterback. O'Connell said this will be a week-to-week thing. Murray is expected to have a long leash as the Vikings' starter this season.

Vikings' Carson Wentz: May have leg up on McCarthy
Wentz completed three of four passes for 15 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and ran once for no gain in Friday's 34-6 preseason loss to the Broncos. He also fumbled once but recovered.
The battle for the Vikings' No. 2 quarterback job has been a fluid situation this summer, and J.J. McCarthy's absence Friday due to an ankle injury only served to add further intrigue. Wentz had already forced head coach Kevin O'Connell to modify his stance on the role being McCarthy's by going 18-for-25 for 173 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions over his first two preseason games, and McCarthy hurt his own cause in the second exhibition by missing two open receivers for potential touchdowns. Wentz drew the start in McCarthy's absence against Denver on Friday, and in a perhaps telling sign, was protected from injury by playing on only the first two drives.

Vikings' Carson Wentz: Steady in Saturday's preseason loss
Wentz completed nine of 11 passes for 92 yards during the Vikings' 13-3 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday.
J.J. McCarthy (undisclosed) served as the Vikings' starter for Saturday's game, with Wentz taking over under center in the second quarter. Wentz led two offensive series in the frame, with the latter being an eight-play, 57-yard drive that ended with a 52-yard field goal from Will Reichard as time expired, which were the only points the Vikings put up in Saturday's loss. Kyler Murray was named as Minnesota's QB1 earlier in August, but given McCarthy's shaky play in the team's first two preseason games, Wentz has a real chance of being named the team's backup quarterback for the regular season. The Vikings wrap up their preseason Friday against the Broncos.
