Sunday's game in London against the Cleveland Browns will be Carson Wentz's third start under center for the Minnesota Vikings in place of an injured J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy traveled with the team for the back-to-back international games, mostly so he could rehab normally with an eye on a return after the Week 6 bye.
ESPN's Adam Schefter initially reported McCarthy was dealing with a high ankle sprain, with a 2–4 week recovery timetable that naturally pushed his likely return to Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
That said, with weather conditions in London as a factor, McCarthy did not practice at all leading into the game against the Browns.
