Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz completed 11 of 20 passes for 143 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in a Week 2 road victory

One national NFL analyst believes that Carson Wentz could take over full time as the starter.

Wentz will serve as the Vikings ' backup quarterback Sunday against the Buccaneers after head coach Kevin O'Connell announced Monday that Kyler Murray has cleared concussion protocol and will start Week 3.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz made some history in their team's impressive win against the Green Bay Packers.

Carson Wentz can pass Archie Manning and Trent Green on two NFL career lists when the Minnesota Vikings face the Chicago Bears in Week 2.

Minnesota named a starter and a backup for Sunday but said nothing about the quarterback who opened the season. Murray began the week in the NFL's concussion protocol.

When Kyler Murray went down in the Vikings 39-22 win over the Packers, it wasn’t the first time Carson Wentz put up loud numbers in relief. The 33-year-old vet threw for three touchdowns after entering the game in the first quarter and steered Minnesota to a comeback victory with 29 unanswered points.

Wentz completed 11 of 20 passes for 143 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears. He added six yards on three carries.

CHICAGO — Starting QB Carson Wentz didn’t light up the Chicago Bears defense in his first start of the season, but he has the Minnesota Vikings off to a 2-0 start. The Vikings won 9-3 Sunday at Soldier Field in a sloppy defensive slugfest in the rain.
