Vikings' Kevin O’Connell considers Daniel Jones as backup QB behind Sam Darnold

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell has indicated that Daniel Jones may soon become the backup quarterback behind Sam Darnold. O'Connell mentioned that Jones has made significant progress and has been signed to the 53-man roster, making him a contender for the QB2 position. Jones, who was waived by the New York Giants and signed to Minnesota’s practice squad, has playoff experience that could influence the team's decision. The decision between Jones and Nick Mullens for the crucial game remains uncertain, as O'Connell focuses on preparing Sam Darnold.
