Carson Wentz\u2019s 2025 season ended with a left shoulder injury that required surgery in October. He originally injured his shoulder Oct. 5, while playing in place of starter J.J. McCarthy.<\/p>\n

Wentz played through a dislocated shoulder that included a torn labrum and fractured socket until he couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The veteran quarterback, who made NFL history by starting at least one game for his sixth different team in six seasons, recently shared an update on his rehab.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Luke Gamble of KFYR-TV, Wentz sounded optimistic about participating in the team\u2019s organized team activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhysically, I feel great<\/a>,\u201d Wentz told Gamble. \u201cShoulder\u2019s more or less behind me now. It wasn\u2019t fun by any means, but surgery went well, and rehab\u2019s gone really well, too. So for me, it\u2019s behind me. I\u2019m healthy, and I\u2019ll be ready to roll.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wentz re-signed with the Vikings despite Kyler Murray also being in the room. The two veterans will compete with McCarthy for the starting job. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a different dynamic obviously in the room with a couple other guys and having Kyler now in the mix,\u201d Wentz said. \u201cIt\u2019s fun. It\u2019s fun to compete. It\u2019s fun to get to know guys in another way. But I think just the competition in the environment will make everybody better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wentz said he \u201cwill be ready however it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carson Wentz\u2019s 2025 season ended with a left shoulder injury that required surgery in October.
