Jaren Hall was the first Vikings quarterback to succeed Kirk Cousins when the starter tore his right Achilles tendon on Oct. 29 at Lambeau Field. With the Vikings' playoff chances riding on Sunday's game against the Packers, they will turn again to the rookie quarterback.
Coach Kevin O'Connell announced Thursday the Vikings will start Hall on Sunday night against Green Bay, giving him back the starting job nearly two months after a concussion ended his brief stint as the team's No. 1 quarterback. Hall played the final 11 snaps of the Vikings' win over the Packers after Cousins was injured, and started the following week against the Falcons, but left that game after just 11 snaps when he sustained a concussion while trying to reach the end zone on a third-down scramble.
