Vikings QB Max Brosmer in the 2025 regular season.or Carson Wentz? One of those men will likely start at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7, but according to offensive coordinator Wes Phillips, QB3 Max Brosmer will be ready, too.

Max Brosmer continues to fascinate Vikings fans, and thanks to offensive coordinator Wes Phillips, there’s a Brosmer update for the masses.

Phillips spoke to reporters on Tuesday and pumped up Brosmer’s preparation, the latest example in a rather lengthy hype train for the rookie dating back to early August.

Vikings QB3 Max Brosmer Gets a Little Love from Wes Phillips

Brosmer could end up having a role if injuries continue.

Phillips told reporters Tuesday, five days before the Vikings host the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Brosmer mention caught some folks off guard because so far this week has been a question mark between McCarthy and Wentz.

Two Injured QBs Aside from Brosmer

McCarthy, the team’s QB1, suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 2 and has since navigated a recovery. He may or may not be ready for Week 7, a determination that should be announced on Friday, two days before the game against Philadelphia.

And in Week 5, Carson Wentz, the QB2, injured his shoulder on a scamper in London. He remained in the game and even dimed a game-winning pass to Jordan Addison, but after the contest and during the subsequent bye week, Wentz was evidently “pretty sore,” according to head coach Kevin O’Connell.

One man should be healthy enough to start on Sunday, but if that theory is incorrect, Brosmer and his extreme preparation, as mentioned by Phillips, will be chomping at the bit for his first-ever start.

Already Two Appearances

Not for nothing, Brosmer has already seen brief action in two regular season games this year.

The Vikings disembowled the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3, handing that franchise its worst loss per score margin of all time. Brosmer saw the field in garbage time, which was really just a preseason simulation situation.

“Brock Purdy-like” upside and storyline arc in O’Connell’s system.

More on Brosmer, Vikings QBs

Our Kyle Joudry mentioned Brosmer and Minnesota’s quarterbacks this week: “Sitting at QB3 is Max Brosmer, a young arm who is inspiring optimism. Do note, however, that the optimism needs to be kept within its proper lane. The goal with Brosmer is to develop the undrafted passer. Doing so means working with him in practice and having him active during games.”

“The main objective, though, is to slowly develop Brosmer without needing him to get onto the field. Send him out there in a situation like in Week 3 when Minnesota was eviscerating Cincinnati. What about needing him to lead the team against the defending Super Bowl champions? That’s less than ideal. Carson Wentz has a shoulder that isn’t fully right. Likewise, J.J. McCarthy is moving in a reasonably positive direction.”

Brosmer is basically bright and shiny right now due to his clean bill of health.

If Brosmer ever does start a game in purple, fans certainly won’t hate the experiment. He has the University of Minnesota angle going for him, his alma mater.
