The Minnesota Vikings have signed veteran quarterback Brett Rypien and waived Jaren Hall, who had a strong preseason but was injured in the final game. Rypien, previously with the Chicago Bears, brings experience to the backup role behind starter Sam Darnold. The decision to waive Hall comes after he started two games last season following Kirk Cousins' injury, but his recent leg contusion may have influenced the team's decision. The Vikings are navigating a challenging quarterback situation after losing rookie J.J. McCarthy to a season-ending injury.

In a rain-shortened Hall of Fame game, Brett Rypien led the Chicago Bears to a 21-17 victory over the Houston Texans, throwing three touchdown passes before the game was halted due to severe weather. The game showcased the NFL's new kickoff rules but lacked excitement in that area, as none of the kickoffs resulted in significant returns. The Bears' offense, led by Rypien, managed to capitalize on their opportunities, while the Texans, despite a strong start, could not maintain their lead.

Jets coach Robert Saleh indicated that quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants to play again this season, but Saleh refused to comment on whether Rodgers will see the field again. The Jets have until Wednesday to activate Rodgers or leave him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Rodgers has been targeting Dec. 24 as a potential return game, but some teammates believe he should err on the side of caution with his Achilles injury.

The New York Jets have announced that they will start Zach Wilson at quarterback on Sunday against the Houston Texans, just two weeks after he was benched and demoted to third string.

This decision comes after speculation and a report that Wilson was reluctant to return to the field. The Jets' quarterback situation has been constantly changing this season due to injuries and poor performances.

The New York Jets have waived quarterback Tim Boyle and signed Brett Rypien from the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad.
