J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz Share Second-Team Reps Amid Roster Uncertainty

During a recent practice, J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz divided second-team quarterback reps, indicating a shift in the Vikings' roster dynamics as cuts approach.

McCarthy, who lost the starting position to Kyler Murray, has struggled in exhibition games, facing issues with accuracy and throw technique. Wentz, who previously served as a backup for the Vikings, is now in a stronger position to step in if needed.

With another quarterback, Max Brosmer, also on the roster, McCarthy's chances of remaining with the team are diminishing as the roster must be trimmed to 53 players by Sunday. The Vikings may consider trading McCarthy, but they might need to cover part of his guaranteed salary to facilitate a deal. If not, waiving him could be the likely outcome.
