Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz has been put on notice before starting against the Cincinnati Bengals.

When Wentz takes his first snap Sunday, he will be the first player in NFL history to start for six different franchises in six consecutive seasons. He played his first five years with the Philadelphia Eagles, winning a Super Bowl in 2018 when his backup, Nick Foles, led the team after Wentz suffered a season-ending injury.

J.J. McCarthy’s ankle injury is Carson Wentz’s opportunity as the Minnesota Vikings host the Cincinnati Bengals at noon Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.

NFL journeyman Carson Wentz will be taking over for injured Minnesota QB J.J. McCarthy on Sunday in what will be his 99th contest in the NFL. But he's expecting this one to be a touch more special than the other 98.

Both the Minnesota Vikings and the Cincinnati Bengals will be down to their backup quarterbacks after injuries to Burrow and McCarthy.

The veteran is hoping for a career rebirth after several years of journeyman backup work. Can he find success in Minnesota?

With J.J. McCarthy sidelined with an ankle injury, Carson Wentz steps up as the latest QB to take the reigns of Kevin O'Connell's offense.

After leading North Dakota State University to back-to-back FCS national championships, Carson Wentz was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, behind Jared Goff of the Los Angeles Rams.
