Daniel Jones

MINQB • #8

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell declined to say if Daniel Jones or Nick Mullens would be the team’s QB2 in the NFC Wild Card Round against the Rams.

Jones was promoted to the Vikings’ 53-man roster earlier this week. Mullens has served as the backup to Sam Darnold all season, but when asked if Jones or Mullens would serve as the QB2 behind the Darnold, O’Connell opted not to say. The hope for all involved is that we don’t need to find out the answer on Monday when the Vikings take the field against the Rams. Darnold isn’t at risk of missing the NFC Wild Card game against the Rams, and meaning the only way we would see Jones or Mullens is if Darnold were to suffer any injury.
