Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz is set to undergo season-ending surgery on his left shoulder and will be placed on injured reserve. He had been playing through the injury, and J.J. McCarthy is expected to start for Minnesota in Week 9 against Detroit.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz will undergo season-ending surgery on his left shoulder after struggling with an injury during a recent game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Wentz was visibly in pain and had previously dislocated his shoulder, resulting in a torn labrum and fractured socket. He had been serving as a backup to J.J. McCarthy, who is expected to return soon.
