It was known that Wentz initially hurt his non-throwing shoulder in a Week 5 game against the Browns in London. He was on the injury report for two weeks, though he was a full participant for five of the six practices and limited in the other. Wentz wore a bulky shoulder harness in the two games he played with his injury.

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell stood by his decision to stick with quarterback Carson Wentz through an apparent shoulder injury in Thursday's loss to the Chargers.
