The Minnesota Vikings will be undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer when they play the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Second-year quarterback JJ McCarthy remains in concussion protocol, so the team will turn to Brosmer, 24, to try to get a much-needed win for the Vikings, who are 4-7 and last in the NFC North.
When Brosmer takes the field on Sunday, he will be the 19th backup quarterback to play this season. He will be the second backup quarterback to play for the Vikings this year, as Brosmer was the third quarterback behind McCarthy and Carson Wentz to start the season.

Wentz started five games while McCarthy dealt with a sprained ankle, but suffered a season-ending shoulder injury, leaving backup duties to Brosmer. Wentz suffered a litany of shoulder injuries, as the veteran dislocated his shoulder, tore his labrum and fractured his socket, requiring surgery.
The Vikings are the fifth team to start three different quarterbacks this season. The New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens are the others.

Brosmer, 24, started one season in Minnesota before signing with the Vikings after the NFL Draft. In 13 games with the Golden Gophers last season, Brosmer completed 66.5% of his passes for 2,828 yards with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions while rushing for 71 yards and five touchdowns.
The Seattle Seahawks pose a tough test for Brosmer in his first start, as they have the NFL’s seventh-best scoring defense (19.7 points per game) this season.
