Brett Rypien has secured a 53-man roster position with the Minnesota Vikings after being signed following his impressive preseason with the Chicago Bears. The Bears waived Jaren Hall to accommodate Rypien.
Despite a strong preseason performance, Rypien was released by the Bears, who opted for rookie Austin Reed as a practice squad option. The Vikings reshuffled their quarterback lineup due to J.J. McCarthy's season-ending injury.
Sam Darnold is set to lead as the Vikings' starting quarterback. The Bears, focusing on nurturing young talent, also feature second-year player Tyson Bagent and aim to support their rookie quarterbacks effectively.
