After placing veteran quarterback Carson Wentz on injured reserve earlier this week, the Vikings have added another player with experience.

In search of a quick study at the position, the Vikings signed veteran quarterback John Wolford to the practice squad. He previously played for head coach Kevin O’Connell with the Los Angeles Rams, and thus, should be able to pick up the offense in short order.

Though he more than likely won’t see the field for the Vikings anytime soon, the addition of Wolford provides depth behind starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy and backup quarterback Max Brosmer.

The plan is for McCarthy to make his return when the Vikings travel to play the Detroit Lions on Sunday at Ford Field. He has missed the past month and a half with a high ankle sprain.
