Is it possible Carson Wentz is the second coming of Sam Darnold? Will Stefon put a ring on it? And will I run my teaser streak to three?

Having been a backup with limited regular-season snaps the last two seasons with the Chiefs and Rams, the last time Wentz played truly meaningful snaps was in 2022 with the Commanders. Wentz had 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions in eight games that season, but it's noteworthy that the 2022 Commanders didn't have a strong roster.

Sunday’s matchup between the Bengals and Vikings is likely going to be a battle of the backup quarterbacks in Minneapolis. The Bengals will go with Jake Browning, who was originally signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent before coming to Cincinnati in 2021 and becoming Joe Burrow’s backup,

In only the third week of the NFL season, the list of prominent quarterbacks reduced to spectator status includes Joe Burrow, J.J. McCarthy, Justin Fields and Brock Purdy. Starting in their places will be Jake Browning, Carson Wentz, Tyrod Taylor and perhaps Mac Jones (again).

J.J. McCarthy is out with a sprained ankle, leaving Carson Wentz to possibly start multiple games. Rookie Max Brosmer will be the backup.

Carson Wentz finally gets to throw to Justin Jefferson five years and five teams later. J.J. McCarthy’s ankle injury opens the door for the Wentz-to-Jefferson combination that Philadelphia Eagles fans desperately wanted to see in 2020.
