The Minnesota Vikings announced on Tuesday that they have signed former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones to their 53-man roster.
In a corresponding move, they waived third-string quarterback Brett Rypien. Jones will join the Vikings roster to back up Sam Darnold during the playoffs. Nick Mullens, who's been listed as the Vikings' No. 2 quarterback, remains on the roster. It's not yet clear who will be the No. 2 quarterback after the roster change.
Jones initially signed with the Vikings practice squad on Nov. 27 after being released by the Giants. He has remained on the practice squad since, but will now be available in the postseason in the event that Darnold needs relief.
