A couple of days after the Vikings signed quarterback Daniel Jones to the active roster, they left the door open for him potentially moving up on the depth chart. Notably, head coach Kevin O’Connell did not commit to quarterback Nick Mullens as the backup on Thursday afternoon at TCO Performance Center when the topic came up during his weekly press conference.

Jones signed to the Vikings’ practice squad shortly after he had been released by the Giants earlier this season.

Minnesota plays the Rams in Los Angeles on Monday in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs. While Sam Darnold is the team’s No. 1 quarterback, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell isn’t ruling out elevating Jones to No. 2, ahead of Nick Mullens, who’s served as QB2 all season.
