Vikings move quickly to reshuffle backup QB situation after preseason finale

After the preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans, there are still questions about the Minnesota Vikings' backup quarterback situation. Undrafted rookie Max Brosmer has made his case for a spot on the 53-man roster, but ideally, there would be an experienced option directly behind J.J. McCarthy on the depth chart. Sam Howell had a rough training camp and preseason, while Brett Rypien is in line to be an easy cut.

A trade for a veteran backup signal caller was possibly on the radar, but no stones were left unturned. ESPN's Lindsey Thiry reported the Vikings had Wentz in for a workout on Saturday, and they apparently saw enough.
