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.

The Minnesota Vikings have announced that Sam Darnold will start in their preseason opener against the Las Vegas Raiders. Darnold has been taking the majority of first-team reps during training camp after the departure of Kirk Cousins. Coach Kevin O'Connell is also looking forward to seeing rookie J.J. McCarthy and second-year quarterback Jaren Hall in action during the game.

Coach Kevin O'Connell declined to name a starter for the Minnesota Vikings' regular-season finale at the Detroit Lions. The Vikings must win the game and get some help in order to clinch a postseason berth. O'Connell said that all options are on the table and the decision will be based on putting the team in a position to move the football and have success.

Nick Mullens, the Minnesota Vikings' backup quarterback, expressed understanding and disappointment after being benched due to his turnovers. Mullens threw six interceptions in the past two games, with one interception called back and another dropped. Despite completing 69.6% of his passes and throwing for 714 yards, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell emphasized the need to maintain possession of the football. Jaren Hall will start as the Vikings' quarterback against the Green Bay Packers, with Mullens as the backup and Josh Dobbs as the emergency third-string quarterback.

The Minnesota Vikings will start rookie Jaren Hall at quarterback in a must-win home game Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers, coach Kevin O'Connell announced Thursday. Hall will be making his second NFL start. His first, against the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 5, was cut short in the first quarter when he suffered a concussion. The Vikings have started veteran Nick Mullens at quarterback the past two weeks, both losses, which dropped the Vikings to 7-8 on the season. Mullens threw six interceptions in his stwo starts. The Packers also are 7-8.

Coach Kevin O'Connell named Jaren Hall the Vikings' starting quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Packers.

The Vikings have announced that QB Jaren Hall will start over Nick Mullens this Sunday night against the Packers. Hall, a rookie, is unproven with just 10 regular-season passes. He brings above-average speed for the position but starting him in his first full NFL game is risky. The switch at QB may impact the outlook for WR K.J. Osborn.

The Vikings have announced that QB Jaren Hall will start over Nick Mullens this Sunday night against the Packers. Hall, a fifth-round rookie, has thrown just 10 regular-season passes and is unproven. However, he brings above-average speed and had over 300 rushing yards in each of his final two seasons at BYU. The switch at QB raises questions about the outlook for WR K.J. Osborn, who is now tougher to like as a WR3.

Jaren Hall is expected to be the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in Sunday's game against the Packers.

The Minnesota Vikings will be without running back Alexander Mattison and right tackle Brian O'Neill in their upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mattison and O'Neill both suffered ankle injuries in the Vikings' previous game and did not practice this week. Ty Chandler will take over as the lead running back, with Kene Nwangwu and C.J. Ham also available for carries. David Quessenberry will replace O'Neill in the lineup. Quarterback Nick Mullens will be the fourth different starter at the position in a seven-game stretch. Joshua Dobbs will serve as the emergency No. 3 quarterback, with Jaren Hall as the backup to Mullens.

The Minnesota Vikings will continue to start quarterback Josh Dobbs for at least one more week, despite his six turnovers in the last two games. Offensive coordinator Wes Phillips mentioned that the coaching staff used the bye week to closely evaluate Dobbs' performance and make adjustments to the offensive scheme to better suit his skills. The Vikings' offense was originally built around pocket passer Kirk Cousins, but Dobbs will now have the opportunity to lead the team against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Minnesota Vikings are considering which quarterback is best suited to maximize the skills of All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson. Kirk Cousins, who was the starter when Jefferson originally got injured, is now out for the season with an Achilles injury. Backup Nick Mullens and No. 3 quarterback Jaren Hall have both dealt with injuries, while newcomer Josh Dobbs has struggled with turnovers. Coach Kevin O'Connell said that Jefferson's return is a significant factor in the decision-making process and that the quarterback position plays a crucial role in getting Jefferson involved in the offense. The Vikings will use their upcoming bye week to evaluate their options and choose a starter for their game against the Las Vegas Raiders on December 10.

Vikings Head Coach Kevin O'Connell is considering making a quarterback change over the bye week after QB Josh Dobbs had a poor performance in Monday night's loss to the Bears. Dobbs threw for just 185 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions. O'Connell praised Dobbs for his resilience but acknowledged the impact of the turnovers. Dobbs had performed well in his first three games with the team, completing 66% of his passes with four touchdowns and one interception. The Vikings' other quarterback options are Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall, but it is expected that Dobbs will start in Week 14 against the Raiders.

After quarterback Josh Dobbs threw four interceptions in a loss to the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said he will spend the team's upcoming bye week reviewing the best path forward at the position. Dobbs was forced into emergency duty in Week 9 after the Vikings acquired him in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals. Veteran Nick Mullens, who was on injured reserve, is now available, and rookie Jaren Hall has cleared concussion protocol.

Joshua Dobbs will start the team's Week 10 game against the New Orleans Saints, coach Kevin O'Connell said, with veteran Sean Mannion as the likeliest backup. Rookie Jaren Hall, whose first-quarter concussion Sunday opened the door for Dobbs to play just five days after the Vikings acquired him, is in concussion protocol.

Joshua Dobbs, the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, will be receiving first-team reps in practice, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. This comes as Jaren Hall is in the concussion protocol and Dobbs led the Vikings to a victory in his first appearance with the team. However, Dobbs will need to improve after taking a sack in the end zone during his last game. Nick Mullens may also return to practice this week, giving the Vikings multiple options at quarterback following Kirk Cousins' season-ending injury.

Cousins was having a strong season, leading the league in touchdown passes and ranking second in passing yards.
