Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell assured starting quarterback Sam Darnold that the addition of Daniel Jones doesn't affect how the team views him, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
"Before Daniel Jones agreed to join the practice squad this week, coach Kevin O'Connell told Sam Darnold, 'This has nothing to do with you short or long term,'" Pelissero said on Sunday.
After Jones was released by the New York Giants, he signed a contract worth $375,000 to close out the season with the Vikings.
