Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is unlikely to play this week due to an ankle sprain, head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday.

Current backup Carson Wentz is expected to be the starter against Bengals backup Jake Browning, who steps in again for injured starter Joe Burrow. Burrow will undergo surgery to repair a toe injury after leaving Sunday's win over the Jaguars.
