The quarterback defended Minnesota's decision to stay in the match.

Carson Wentz revealed today that nobody wanted him to stay on the field with discomfort during the TNF clash and claimed that he bears no ill will toward the Vikings and shared that he did not want boss Kevin O’Connell to remove him from the game vs. the Chargers.

“I’m a very experienced player,” Carson started. “I know what I’m doing. I understood that I could worsen my problem while staying on the field in that moment, but it was my decision. Nobody told me that I must remain in the game, nor did they put any kind of pressure on me to influence me.”

Wentz sustained a campaign-ending left shoulder problem as he is out after undergoing a procedure. He was playing through the pain during his team’s 37-10 defeat against the Los Angeles Chargers, as he was playing with that problem since Week 5, after suffering his shoulder problem vs. the Browns.

Carson was starting QB for the Vikings again in Week 7 as his team had a bye week and he used the time to recover, but vs. Los Angeles, his problems became even higher, and that led to the end of his season.
