The Vikings lost their second straight game on Thursday night, 37–10 at the hands of the Chargers. And even though quarterback Carson Wentz entered the week nursing an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, Minnesota, citing J.J. McCarthy's own limited health, opted to start Wentz. Wentz appeared to aggravate his injury in the first half and seemed to be in visible discomfort throughout much of the game, as he could be seen grimacing in pain amidst the beating he took—five sacks and eight quarterback hits—from the Chargers defense.
