EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings pulled a mild surprise Thursday by signing veteran backup quarterback Brett Rypien and waiving Jaren Hall, their No. 3 quarterback last season who had seemingly cemented a job with a strong preseason performance.

Rypien, 28, was released earlier this week by the Chicago Bears. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the Denver Broncos (2019-22), starting three games, before moving to the Los Angeles Rams in 2023. Rams coach Sean McVay and Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell are close friends and share a similar offensive system.
