The Minnesota Vikings are turning to a pair of former New York Giants teammates against the Detroit Lions in Week 9.

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.

The Vikings have elevated cornerback Fabian Moreau and tight end Nick Vannet from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

The NFL handed out significant fines to Minnesota Vikings defenders Dallas Turner and Blake Cashman for actions against the Chargers.

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

The Vikings have activated veteran tight end and cornerback for their pivotal NFC North Week 9 game against the Lions.
