Wentz was able to walk off the field, but apparently headed into the blue tent on the sideline to be evaluated for a possible injury. Before halftime hit, Wentz was spotted walking to the locker room early.
He reportedly needed to receive X-rays, per the broadcast.
Shortly after Wentz left, the Vikings deemed him questionable to return due to a left shoulder injury. The Browns were able to run the clock down to nine seconds before kicking a field goal at the end of the half.
