"Wentz will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a left shoulder injury he originally suffered Oct. 5 while playing in place of injured starter J.J. McCarthy. Wentz has been playing through a dislocated shoulder that included a torn labrum and fractured socket, a source told ESPN on Monday, confirming multiple reports. McCarthy is expected to return to the starting lineup for the Vikings' game Sunday at the Detroit Lions."
"Wentz, 32, made NFL history this season by starting at least one game for his sixth different team in the past six seasons. The Vikings signed him Aug. 24 to serve as McCarthy's backup, after they traded away Sam Howell, and Wentz entered the lineup in Week 3 as McCarthy recovered from a high right ankle sprain. In five starts, Wentz led the Vikings to a 2-3 record."
