EAGAN, Minn.The Vikings are hosting the Cincinnati Bengals at noon (CT) Sunday, Sept. 21, as part of Week 3.

The game will amount to a battle of backup QBs and beyond.

Minnesota is preparing August addition Carson Wentz for his first start in Purple after J.J. McCarthy suffered a high-ankle sprain against Atlanta in Week 2. McCarthy finished the game but is now week-to-week.
