The Minnesota Vikings have yet another injury concern at the quarterback position in the Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns.
Quarterback Carson Wentz, who is already filling in for an injured J.J. McCarthy, took a hard hit to his shoulder in the second quarter during a scramble. It wasn't the first hard hit Wentz has taken in the game, either.
Wentz was clearly feeling some discomfort after returning to the sideline. Here's the latest update on Wentz.
