The Minnesota Vikings suffered an injury blow during their Week 5 clash against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday after quarterback Carson Wentz headed to the locker room with a shoulder issue.

During the second quarter of the game, Wentz seemed in pain as he attempted to run for a first down. He asked for medical attention on the sideline before jogging to the locker room before halftime.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Wentz is questionable to return to the game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. He completed seven of his 12 attempts for 73 passing yards before exiting the game.

"#Vikings QB Carson Wentz (shoulder) is questionable to return. He headed to the locker room early before halftime."

The Vikings have Max Brosmer available if the 32-year-old Pro Bowler doesn't return for the second half. The Vikings trailed the Browns 10-7 at halftime.

While Chaitanya's favorite player from the current crop is the dynamic Venezuelan Ronald Acuna Jr., his all-time favorite, however, is Pedro Martinez, for his self-belief and consistency. He also rates Jose Bautista's iconic bat flip in 2015 as his favorite moment in baseball history.

Chaitanya specializes in reporting on technical aspects of the game or analyzing patterns behind specific plays. He also likes pondering over players' self-assessments following the conclusion of a game as it helps him get an idea of how they think about the sport in general.

When not cheering for his favorites across sports, Chaitanya likes being transported to the past through a good war documentary or a historical documentary in general.
