Vikings Add Daniel Jones to Active Roster Ahead of Wild Card Game

The former Giants quarterback joins Minnesota's 53-man squad, providing depth and potential compensatory draft benefits.

Daniel Jones, formerly of the New York Giants, was signed to the Vikings' active roster after spending time on their practice squad.
The move positions the Vikings to receive a compensatory draft pick if Jones departs in free agency after the season.
Jones is now eligible to play in the Vikings' Wild Card playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams on January 13, though Sam Darnold remains the starter.
Jones brings valuable experience, having started 69 games in his career and leading the Giants to a playoff victory in 2022.
The Vikings' decision reflects strategic planning, adding depth for the playoffs while considering future roster and draft implications.
