Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Mitchell Trubisky

Monday, October 27, 5:37 PM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery on his left shoulder and will be placed on Injured Reserve, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. To fill Wentz's spot on the active 53-man roster, the Vikings claimed tight end Ben Sims on waivers from the division-rival Green Bay Packers. The 32-year-old Wentz started the team's last five games with J.J. McCarthy working his way back from a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in the Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Wentz was in undeniable pain every time he was hit last Thursday night's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, and now he won't play again this year. There were questions as to whether McCarthy would be ready to play in Week 9 against the division-rival Detroit Lions, but now that Wentz is out, the Vikes will be left with Max Brosmer if McCarthy isn't cleared to start this Sunday. Wentz finishes his 10th year in the NFL with 1,216 passing yards, six touchdowns, and five interceptions in his five starts.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Mitchell Trubisky completed 22 of his 29 pass attempts for 259 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 18 win over the New York Jets. He also rushed for five yards and didn't take a sack. Josh Allen played the opening snap to extend his active starting streak, and then, Trubisky played the rest of the way. Thanks to the veteran quarterback's strong performance, the Bills are now locked into the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoff picture and will face the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road next weekend. Trubisky will head back to the bench as Allen looks to get Buffalo beyond the Wild Card Round for the sixth year in a row.
