• Jaren Hall: Finds new opportunity

  09/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hall signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Monday. Hall was waived by the Vikings on Thursday, as they opted to go with Brett Rypien as their No. 3 option at quarterback instead. The BYU product will now fill that void for Seattle, as the team only had starter Geno Smith and backup Sam Howell at the position between its active roster and practice squad before today. Hall appeared in three contests for Minnesota last season, completing 13 of his 20 pass attempts for 168 yards and an interception, while also losing two fumbles.

  The Vikings waived Hall on Thursday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports. With Hall having been let go, the Vikings signed Brett Rypien to bolster a QB room that also includes starter Sam Darnold as well as Nick Mullens. The report notes that Hall suffered a leg contusion during Saturday's preseason finale against the Eagles, but the 2023 fifth-rounder was not waived with an injury designation.

• Vikings' Jaren Hall: Sees bulk of action Saturday

  08/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hall completed 17 of 25 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Eagles. He added 11 rushing yards on two carries. The 2023 fifth-round pick got the start due to both Sam Darnold and Nick Mullens getting held out of the Vikings' preseason finale, and Hall played into the third quarter before being replaced under center by Matt Corral. Hall was was impressive, albeit against Philadelphia's second-team defenders, and he led Minnesota to five straight scoring drives to begin the game, hitting Trishton Jackson and Justin Hall for TDs in the red zone. The second-year player appears set as the Vikings' No. 3 quarterback, but even with J.J. McCarthy (knee) lost for the season, Hall is unlikely to see any regular-season action other than in an emergency.

  Coach Kevin O'Connell noted Thursday that Hall will start Saturday's preseason finale against the Eagles. Without naming specific players, O'Connell implied that a number of regulars are in line to be rested Saturday, while adding that Matt Corral is likely to see snaps after Hall. With that in mind, we wouldn't expect to see starter Sam Darnold face Philadelphia.

• Vikings' Jaren Hall: Fourth QB in Minnesota

  05/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hall isn't projected to make the Vikings' 53-man roster, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. A 2023 fifth-round pick, Hall played 46 offensive snaps as a rookie and turned the ball over three times while absorbing four sacks. He completed 13 of 20 passes for just 168 scoreless yards. With the Vikings' first-round selection of J.J. McCarthy following the signing of Sam Darnold, Hall will need to beat out veteran Nick Mullens for the third spot if he's going to stick in Minnesota.
