Wentz (shoulder) was a full participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Minnesota listed Wentz as a limited participant Monday on its initial Week 8 practice report due to his lingering left shoulder injury, but the quarterback never seemed to be at any risk of missing Thursday's game against the Chargers. Head coach Kevin O'Connell put to rest any concern about Wentz's status earlier Tuesday, announcing that the 32-year-old will make his fifth consecutive start Thursday while J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is set to be inactive as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback. McCarthy is expected to reclaim starting duties once he's deemed 100 percent healthy, something that could happen as soon as Week 9 in Detroit. Over his prior four starts, Wentz has gone 2-2 while completing 66.9 percent of his passes for 7.5 yards per attempt and tossing five touchdowns against four interceptions.
