Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall will start in Week 17 against the Packers, as the rookie gets his second NFL start after he exited his first one due to injury back in Week 9. Hall had 78 passing yards and 11 rushing yards on just 15% of the snaps in his first start, but the BYU product is hard to trust in this one despite a decent matchup at home. Hall is at best a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues, as he could have a depleted supporting cast with T.J. Hockenson (knee) out and Jordan Addison (ankle) questionable.
Vikings Going With Jaren Hall At Quarterback In Week 17
The Minnesota Vikings are making another change at quarterback and will start rookie Jaren Hall on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. It's a bit of a curious move with veteran Nick Mullens throwing for 714 yards and four touchdowns in the last two games, although he did have a costly six interceptions as well. The Vikings' playoff hopes will be on the line in a primetime division-rivalry game, and it will give the team another chance to evaluate the rookie from BYU before the 2023 campaign is up. The 25-year-old was hurt shortly after making his first NFL start in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. The fifth-round pick has completed eight of his 10 passes for 101 yards without a touchdown or interception in two games played. The matchup is a good one, but Hall is nothing more than a desperation low-end QB2 in superflex leagues this weekend.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall (concussion) has been cleared ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The rookie quarterback suffered a concussion during his first career start in Week 9. He has been sidelined since then, but was able to get through full practice sessions this week. However, Joshua Dobbs has established himself as the starting quarterback in Minnesota right now. It's unclear if the Vikings plan on having Hall as the backup or stick with Nick Mullens as the second string quarterback. Regardless, Hall can be ignored in fantasy formats with Dobbs as the locked in starter.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Denver Broncos. Hall, who suffered a concussion in his first-ever NFL start back in Week 9, is still in the NFL's concussion protocol. Joshua Dobbs has taken over as the starting QB for the Vikings and Nick Mullens (back), who just had his 21-day practice opened up will presumably back him up.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. Hall sustained the concussion in his first career start in Week 9 before Joshua Dobbs took over. It appears the rookie quarterback is progressing from his head injury and is making great strides. There's a chance he can clear the concussion protocol before Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. But due to Dobbs' recent strong play, Hall would likely only be the backup in that contest.
Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback Jaren Hall (concussion) has been officially ruled out of the Week 10 contest against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Hall made his first career NFL start in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons but didn't last long, suffering a concussion on a hard hit near the goal line early in the first half. Newly acquired QB Joshua Dobbs entered the game and led the Vikes to an improbable comeback win in his first action with the team after being acquired in a trade from the Arizona Cardinals earlier in the week. Kirk Cousins (Achilles) is out for the rest of the year, so barring good health, Dobbs will be Minnesota's starting signal-caller the rest of the way. Either Sean Mannion or Tanner Morgan will back up Dobbs this weekend.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall (concussion) did not practice with the team on Wednesday. The rookie quarterback suffered a concussion in the Vikings' 31-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons last week. So, it's not a surprise to see him off to the side to begin the week. Hall has to go through a five-step concussion protocol before he can return to the field, making his chances unlikely to happen before Week 10. If the rookie is out on Sunday, veteran Sean Mannion could be the Vikings' backup quarterback against the New Orleans Saints.
Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed that quarterback Jaren Hall (concussion) was placed in concussion protocol following Sunday's 31-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons and won't be an option to start Week 10 versus the New Orleans Saints, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. It sets up the recently acquired Joshua Dobbs, who will reportedly receive all of the first-team practice reps this week, to get the nod against the Saints after his unlikely heroics led the Week 9 victory in Atlanta. Nick Mullens (back) could be designated to return from injured reserve this week, per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and would likely serve as the backup if he is activated and Hall can't pass protocol ahead of play. Hall appears to be a safe drop during fantasy's upcoming waiver-wire runs in redraft leagues.
Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback Jaren Hall (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of the Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Hall took a big hit in the first quarter on a rushing attempt in which he was stopped just short of the goal line. He was slow to get up and was checked for a concussion before being ruled out. Before leaving his first career NFL start, the 25-year-old went 5-for-6 for 78 passing yards and had two carries for 11 additional yards. Hall was making the start after Kirk Cousins suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Joshua Dobbs, who was recently acquired in a trade from the Arizona Cardinals, will take over under center for the rest of the day and could be Minnesota's starting signal-caller for the rest of 2023.
Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback Jaren Hall (head) was removed from the Week 9 contest against the Atlanta Falcons early in the first half and is being evaluated for a head injury. Hall took a hard shot just shy of the goal line and was slow to get up. He's likely being evaluated for a concussion, which could cause him to hit the showers early in his first career NFL start. Hall was making the start under center for the Vikes after Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles in the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. For now, consider Hall questionable to return. Before the big hit, the 25-year-old was 5-for-6 for 78 yards passing and had two carries for 11 yards. Joshua Dobbs, who was acquired in a trade from the Arizona Cardinals last Tuesday, is now in the game and could finish out the contest under center for Minnesota.
