Carson Wentz injury update: Vikings QB to miss rest of 2025 season with shoulder injury
For the third time in the last three seasons, the Minnesota Vikings have lost a quarterback to a season-ending injury before Week 9.
Two years ago, it was a Week 8 Achilles injury to Kirk Cousins. Last year, it was a torn meniscus that ended first-round pick J.J. McCarthy's rookie season before it even began. This year, on Oct. 27, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that Carson Wentz will land on injured reserve and miss the remainder of the 2025 season after undergoing a season-ending surgery on his left shoulder.
Wentz, 32, first injured his shoulder in a Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns. He had been wearing a brace on his arm in every game since. He was noticeably grimacing in pain and favoring his injured shoulder on "Thursday Night Football" on Oct. 23.

Now, he's undergoing surgery to repair the shoulder ailment and will miss the rest of the season.
McCarthy is expected to return from his ankle injury in Week 9's game against the Detroit Lions. Undrafted rookie Max Brosmer, who served as Wentz' backup over the last several weeks, is expected to remain in that role behind McCarthy.
