The Minnesota Vikings announced a notable quarterback signing before Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Vikings signed former Falcons 2022 third-round pick Desmond Ridder to its practice squad on Thursday, ESPN first reported. The Vikings are currently set to start Max Brosmer in the event that McCarthy can’t clear concussion protocol ahead of their Week 13 matchup in Seattle.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — It’s hard to effectively sum up how bad the Vikings were after halftime in the embarrassing 23-6 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field. The ineptitude displayed might go down as the worst 30 minutes that will ever be put forth under head coach Kevin O’Connell.

The development process in the NFL for a quarterback learning the most demanding and difficult job in sports can test the patience of the entire organization.

The bleakness of the present and future came to a head during a particularly brutal but honest assessment from the Fox broadcast team in a two-minute stretch of the fourth quarter.

Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones are thriving with their new teams while J.J. McCarthy has struggled and has missed games due to injury.

It's unfortunately time to start looking into college prospects for next year's draft, Vikings fans. The time has unfortunately arrived much earlier than anticipated. With the Vikings' embarrassing loss to the Packers on Sunday essentially eliminating them from playoff contention,

Minnesota may have to open the NFL history books to the Cardinals' 2018 mistake to learn its lesson with McCarthy.
