The Minnesota Vikings sit at 3-2 coming into week 7, after their week 6 bye post-London games, this time with a tough challenge in the Philadelphia Eagles, who are coming off a two-game losing streak against the Denver Broncos and New York Giants.
The foundation McCarthy built up through training camp has seemed to slip already at times. Some of that was due to the circumstances around him. Some of that was due to the high ankle sprain that has left him still feeling less than 100%.
The Eagles, who are on a two-game losing streak, would go up against Carson Wentz if McCarthy can't play. Wentz, who the Eagles picked No. 2 overall in the 2016 draft, started in place of McCarthy the last three weeks. Both McCarthy and Wentz, who was a full participant practice while nursing a sore shoulder, can expect plenty of work in practice.
As reported by CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell told the media on Wednesday that he will get reps in practice alongside backup quarterback Carson Wentz this week.
