Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that Wentz will start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Max Brosmer will handle the backup role in Week 7 while J.J. McCarthy serves as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback as he continues his recovery from a high-ankle sprain. Wentz's fourth start of 2025 comes against the team that drafted him with the No. 2 overall pick back in 2016. He's played reasonably well for the Vikings so far, completing 69 percent of passes for 7.6 yards per attempt, with per-game averages of 33.3 attempts, 253.0 yards and 1.6 touchdowns. Minnesota's offense is fantasy-friendly for quarterbacks, but Wentz doesn't add much on the ground (29 yards, no scores) and has a well-earned reputation for untimely mistakes.

Sewell (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Sewell remains in concussion protocol after being injured in a collision with a teammate during Monday's win over the Commanders. Ruben Hyppolite, D'Marco Jackson and Carl Jones are the top candidates for additional playing time in Sewell's absence.

Yiadom (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Despite practicing in full Friday, Yiadom is still is jeopardy of missing a third consecutive game due to a hamstring issue. The ninth-year pro has tallied 16 total tackles through four appearances with New Orleans this season. If active, he's likely to start as the team's No. 1 slot corner.

Homer (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Homer remains on injured reserve, so Chicago would have to make an official move of adding him back to the active roster for Homer to be eligible to play Sunday. He logged three full practices during the week, so Homer may actually be healthier than lead back D'Andre Swift (groin), who is listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday.

Davidson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Despite logging a DNP at Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Davidson is set to face the Broncos in Week 7. The Arizona State product has logged 106 defensive snaps over the Giants' first six games this season, tallying three total tackles. He's expected to serve as New York's top reserve nose tackle Sunday, playing behind Dexter Lawrence.

Kamara (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Chicago, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara even progressed to full practice participation Friday, setting him up for this usual workload come Sunday, although Kendre Miller has gotten more involved in recent weeks for reasons seemingly unrelated to Kamara's health. The 30-year-old RB took 62 percent of snaps in last week's loss to New England, with 15 touches for 76 total yards.

Jarrett (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Jarrett upgraded to limited participation in practice Friday after DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. He last suited up in Week 3 against Dallas. If Jarrett's unable to return Sunday, more snaps on the interior of the defensive line will continue to be available for Chris Williams, Andrew Billings and Shemar Turner.

Adebo (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The first-year Giant logged limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday due to a shoulder injury, but it appears he's moved past the issue in time to play in Week 7. Adebo has appeared in all six of New York's games thus far, recording 44 total tackles and four passes defended across 416 defensive snaps. Now back at full health, he's expected to operate as one of the team's top outside cornerbacks Sunday.

Carter (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The 21-year-old was a late addition to the Giants' injury report, popping up as a limited practice participant Friday due to a hamstring issue. Dan Duggan of The Athletic reported that Carter spoke to reporters following Friday's practice and suggested he's planning to play Week 7, but this injury is something to monitor moving forward. The third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft has tallied 13 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, over his first six NFL games. If he's active Sunday, Carter is likely to operate as one of the Giants' top edge rushers.

Santos (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Santos will sit out a second consecutive game, with his next chance to return coming Week 8 in Baltimore. Jake Moody made four of five field-goal attempts, including the game-winning kick, while filling in for Santos in Monday's win at Washington. Moody will retain kicking duties versus New Orleans.
