EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings are considering a significant shakeup to their quarterback depth chart, one that would put newcomer Daniel Jones in position to play if starter Sam Darnold is injured or ineffective in the playoffs.

The Vikings signed Jones this week to their 53-man roster, where he joined Darnold and No. 2 quarterback Nick Mullens after a six-week stint on the team's practice squad.

Mullens was Darnold's backup for the entire regular season. Darnold started all 17 games, but Mullens appeared in relief four times.
