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.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Daniel Jones has been signed to the Vikings’ active roster. The Vikings waived QB Brett Rypien in a corresponding move to open up the roster spot. Jones will likely serve as the emergency third quarterback on the Vikings’ gameday roster behind Sam Darnold and Nick Mullens.

The Minnesota Vikings are considering a significant shakeup 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.
