  Rypien (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, but he will dress as the team's emergency third quarterback, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Rypien's role for Week 1 shouldn't come as a surprise, as he just joined the Vikings a little over a week ago, and Mullens already had the backup quarterback job secured. The Boise State product will only be able to enter the game if Sam Darnold and Nick Mullens both are injured and unable to play.

• Brett Rypien: Released by Chicago

  08/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Rypien was released by the Bears on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The 28-year-old Rypien spent 2023 with the Rams, Seahawks and Jets before declaring free agency in March. He then signed with the Bears but was unable to beat out Tyson Bagent for QB2 duties behind No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams. Rypien went 24 of 34 passing (70.6 percent) for 335 yards and three touchdowns this preseason. It was a strong enough showing to possibly get Rypien a look elsewhere as a top backup.
