Carson Wentz finally gets to throw to Justin Jefferson five years and five teams later.

J.J. McCarthy’s ankle injury opens the door for the Wentz-to-Jefferson combination that Philadelphia Eagles fans desperately wanted to see in 2020. Now, it’ll happen for the Minnesota Vikings.

Several other teams could be turning to backup quarterbacks in Week 3.

The Bengals (2-0) won’t have Joe Burrow for a few months because of a toe injury, so Jake Browning will start against Wentz and the Vikings (1-1). Browning led Cincinnati to a comeback win over Jacksonville after Burrow went down early in the game.

Jayden Daniels has a knee injury that could force the Washington Commanders (1-1) to face Las Vegas without the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Veteran Marcus Mariota would replace him.
