Carson Wentz, QB (MIN)

Cleared for backup role

Wentz (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay, but Kirk Cousins will be Minnesota's starting quarterback.

Kyler Murray (hamstring) is out for another week but may eventually replace Wentz as the No. 2 quarterback. Wentz's miserable performance against the Bills last week likely was a factor in the Vikings trading for Cousins.
