After the Giants cut starting quarterback Daniel Jones, he joined Minnesota's practice squad. It was a wise move, aimed at getting him on a team while maintaining the flexibility to sign with another team's active roster,

The Minnesota Vikings are considering a significant shake-up to their quarterback depth chart, one that would put newcomer Daniel Jones in position to play if starter Sam Darnold is injured or ineffective in the playoffs.

A couple of days after the Vikings signed quarterback Daniel Jones to the active roster, they left the door open for him potentially moving up on the depth chart. Notably, head coach Kevin O’Connell did not commit to quarterback Nick Mullens as the backup on Thursday afternoon at TCO Performance Center when the topic came up during his weekly press conference.

A short memory is needed in this game against the Rams that has been moved because of the Los Angeles wildfires to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. SoFi Stadium is not an intimidating home field compared to Ford Field in Detroit or Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, but this move should work out in the Vikings’ favor.

Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson and quarterback Sam Darnold couldn’t connect in Sunday’s loss to the Lions. Jefferson caught only three passes while being targeted nine times and finished with his fewest yards (54) since the Bears smothered him in Week 12.
