Vikings quarterbacks Nick Mullens, Jaren Hall close to returning to practice

Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens could practice this week for the first time since he was put on injured reserve last month because of a lower-back injury, coach Kevin O'Connell said.

Rookie quarterback Jaren Hall is also expected to get cleared from the concussion protocol soon and practice this week. The Vikings could have three healthy quarterbacks for the first time since their win Oct. 1 at Carolina.

"It's been a few weeks since we've had three healthy quarterbacks available," O'Connell said.

Edge rusher Marcus Davenport is eligible to return from injured reserve this week, but O'Connell revealed Davenport underwent surgery to repair a left high ankle sprain suffered in the Vikings' victory Oct.
