Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 64162, member: 636"] Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz left the field for a left shoulder evaluation before halftime ended on Sunday. Wentz injured his shoulder on a third-down scramble late in the second quarter after absorbing multiple hits earlier in the period. The team initially listed him as questionable to return. Wentz was substituting for J.J. McCarthy, who remains out with an ankle injury. Undrafted rookie Max Brosmer from the University of Minnesota would replace Wentz if he cannot continue. The Vikings released Sam Howell this offseason and acquired Wentz partly because of confidence in Brosmer's development. Brosmer impressed observers with his preseason performances, but the coaching staff had not planned for his regular-season debut this early. The team awaited word from the locker room at halftime about whether Wentz could return or if Brosmer would make his first NFL appearance. [/QUOTE]
