Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered an ankle sprain in the team's Week 2 matchup on Sunday night, putting him out for an expected couple of weeks. In the meantime, backup Carson Wentz will step into the starting role.
Wentz has been in the NFL since 2016—he knows there's ebbs and flows when it comes to one's career. McCarthy is only in his second NFL season (although he missed his rookie campaign due to injury), so Wentz emphasized to the young quarterback how he's still got a long time left in his career.
