EAGAN, Minn. -- The Vikings are sticking with quarterback Carson Wentz for at least one more game, coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday, citing a short week of preparation before Minnesota plays Thursday night in Los Angeles against the Chargers .
J.J. McCarthy will continue his recovery from a high right ankle sprain by serving as the Vikings' emergency No. 3 quarterback for the second consecutive week. Undrafted rookie Max Brosmer will be the backup behind Wentz.
Meanwhile, the Vikings opened the 21-day practice window for running back Aaron Jones, who has been on injured reserve since injuring his hamstring in Week 1. O'Connell said it was possible that Jones could be activated in time for Thursday night's game. Jordan Mason has taken over as the Vikings' primary running back
