Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell announced Thursday that Carson Wentz will start at quarterback for Monday night's game against the Buffalo Bills. The decision comes with Kyler Murray nursing a hamstring injury and considered week-to-week, according to O'Connell.

Murray's status remains uncertain as the Vikings prepare for the prime-time matchup. Wentz, who has previous starting experience in the league, will take the reins for Minnesota on Monday night.

The announcement was made on Thursday, November 5, 2026, ahead of the Week 10 contest at Highmark Stadium.
