What happened: The Minnesota Vikings will start quarterback Carson Wentz on Sunday, while the New York Jets will welcome back running back Breece Hall. Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson and New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo may both be sidelined for their upcoming matchups.

Why it matters: The Vikings turn to Wentz to maintain position near the top of the conference standings after falling to 6-1 through 7 games. Cleveland sits at 5-3 and requires stability under center to protect its postseason positioning, while the 4-2-1 Giants face a potential absence in Skattebo amid a tight playoff race. Hall's return restores a key weapon to the Jets' offensive backfield.

By the numbers: Wentz has completed 23 of 39 passes for 276 yards with 3 touchdowns in 2026 through 2 games. Watson has completed 163 of 249 passes for 1806 yards with 7 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in 2026 through 8 games. Skattebo has run 98 times for 418 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2026 through 7 games, while Hall has run 51 times for 163 yards and 1 touchdown in 2026 through 3 games.

What to watch: Official active and inactive lists will be confirmed 90 minutes prior to kickoff on Sunday. Practice designations will determine whether Watson and Skattebo gain clearance to play.
