The Minnesota Vikings are contemplating a significant shift in their quarterback lineup as they prepare for the playoffs. After signing Daniel Jones to their 53-man roster, he joins starter Sam Darnold and backup Nick Mullens. Coach Kevin O'Connell has remained non-committal about whether Jones or Mullens will serve as Darnold's backup for their upcoming wild-card game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Darnold, who has struggled recently, particularly in a recent loss to the Lions, may face increased competition for the backup role. Jones, previously with the New York Giants, is looking to revitalize his career and provide the Vikings with a solid option should Darnold falter.
