Who Should I Start? Josh Johnson or Carson Wentz

Saturday, August 9, 9:49 AM

Well-traveled Washington Commanders quarterback Josh Johnson completed 15 of 22 passes for a game-high 173 yards with one touchdown and an interception on Friday against the New England Patriots. Jayden Daniels is the no-doubt starter for Washington with Marcus Mariota also in the fold as the likely backup, leaving Johnson and Sam Hartman competing for the third spot. Hartman struggled while the 38-year-old Johnson proved to be the more effective of the two, at least in the opener. Washington will next take on Cincinnati on Aug. 18.

Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy (ankle) and Carson Wentz (shoulder) were both listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report ahead of the Week 8 game this Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. McCarthy has been sidelined since suffering a high right-ankle sprain in the Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but the 22-year-old former first-rounder resumed practicing last week and put in three limited showings. If he can upgrade to a full participant over the next couple of days, the Vikings could consider starting him under center again this week. Meanwhile, Wentz has been dealing with a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury since before the Week 6 bye, although it's probably not serious enough to keep him sidelined this Thursday if Minnesota elects to sit McCarthy for one more week.
