The Minnesota Vikings are signing Wentz to back up quarterback J.J. McCarthy and trading Howell to the Eagles, two people with knowledge of the decisions told The Associated Press on Sunday. Both people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the teams haven’t announced the moves. ESPN first reported the deals.

After Kyle McCord and Dorian Thompson-Robinson stumbled through the summer, Howie Roseman went and acquired quarterback Sam Howell from the Vikings.

With concerns that their backup quarterback would miss time, the Philadelphia Eagles have brought Sam Howell back to the NFC East.
