Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell announced that Carson Wentz will be the backup quarterback for Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, demoting J.J. McCarthy to third string. McCarthy, who was drafted 10th overall in 2024, had been the starter for the Vikings in 2025 but struggled with turnovers and injuries. Wentz, with nearly 100 career starts, was chosen for his experience and ability to step in if needed. McCarthy's future with the Vikings remains uncertain.
