The Minnesota Vikings could still trade for a quarterback before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. That's according to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, whose sources believe the Vikings could enter the trade market to pick up an experienced backup QB after losing Carson Wentz for the season to a serious shoulder injury.

Carson Wentz has been placed on injured reserve and will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, according to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones. Wentz made five starts this season for the Vikings in relief of starting quarterback J.

The Minnesota Vikings were all-in on developing quarterback J.J. McCarthy this season, after his rookie year was lost to injury, with the belief they could insulate him from some of the natural struggles of inexperience by surrounding him with a stacked veteran team and a savvy coaching staff.

Justin Jefferson has been consistent all year, but has he played well enough to earn any awards at this point in the year?

"This isn't my first rodeo," Wentz said Wednesday. "I'm not an idiot. I know what I was signing up for going out there. Nobody was forcing me, pressuring me, any of those things. Everybody's handled this tremendously. Communication's been phenomenal from coaches, trainers, all the things. I knew what we were doing all along."
