The Minnesota Vikings placed quarterback Carson Wentz on the injured reserve on Monday as he’s reportedly set to undergo season-ending surgery on his non-throwing shoulder.

Wentz was thrust into the starting role when J.J. McCarthy suffered a high-ankle sprain. He made his first start of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 21 and led the team to a 48-10 victory. He only led the Vikings to one more win in the four starts he made after that.

He had 1,216 passing yards, six touchdown passes and five interceptions.

The Athletic reported that Wentz played multiple games with the injury. McCarthy is reportedly set to retake the starting job in Week 9 for the team’s game against the Detroit Lions.
