Daniel Jones Joins active roster

The Vikings signed Jones off their practice squad Tuesday.
After signing with Minnesota's practice squad in late November, Jones was never elevated to the 53-man roster for the final six games of the regular season. Even so, his ample starting experience during his time with the Giants could make him the Vikings' top backup option at quarterback ahead of Nick Mullens if starter Sam Darnold were to miss time at any point during Minnesota's postseason run. Jones is still scheduled to hit free agency this offseason, though by adding him to their roster, the Vikings will net a compensatory draft pick if the signal-caller signs elsewhere.
