Hall isn't projected to make the Vikings' 53-man roster, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. A 2023 fifth-round pick, Hall played 46 offensive snaps as a rookie and turned the ball over three times while absorbing four sacks. He completed 13 of 20 passes for just 168 scoreless yards. With the Vikings' first-round selection of J.J. McCarthy following the signing of Sam Darnold, Hall will need to beat out veteran Nick Mullens for the third spot if he's going to stick in Minnesota.

Hall isn't projected to make the Vikings' 53-man roster, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. A 2023 fifth-round pick, Hall played 46 offensive snaps as a rookie and turned the ball over three times while absorbing four sacks. He completed 13 of 20 passes for just 168 scoreless yards. With the Vikings' first-round selection of J.J. McCarthy following the signing of Sam Darnold, Hall will need to beat out veteran Nick Mullens for the third spot if he's going to stick in Minnesota.
Hall missed the Vikings' past two games while in the league's five-step concussion protocol. Though he was cleared to play Monday against the Bears, Joshua Dobbs has ascended to the role of the team's lead signal-caller and will be backed up by Nick Mullens. As such, Hall will be able to play in the contest only if both Dobbs and Mullens get injured.
It's unclear if Hall has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but his ability to log a full practice Thursday suggests that he's making progress toward a return. The rookie quarterback suffered a head injury against the Falcons in Week 9 and has sat out both of Minnesota's contests since then. It remains to be seen if Hall will be available this Monday against Denver, and if he is, there's also uncertainty about whether he or Nick Mullens would back up starter Joshua Dobbs.
Making his first NFL start Sunday following Kirk Cousins' season-ending Achilles injury, Hall completed five of six pass attempts for 78 yards and ran twice for 11 yards before exiting after suffering the concussion in the first quarter. Trade-deadline pickup Joshua Dobbs stepped in at quarterback despite having not taken part in a practice with the Vikings since his acquisition, and though he got off to a slow start, he ultimately accounted for 224 yards and three touchdowns through the air and on the ground and orchestrated the Vikings' game-winning 11-play drive scoring drive in the fourth quarter. O'Connell said Monday that Dobbs will get all the first-team reps in practice this week in preparation to start against New Orleans, and if Dobbs performs well, he'll presumably remain atop the depth chart moving forward. Per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, Hall looks like he'll face an uphill battle to clear the five-step protocol in time to serve as a backup to Dobbs on Sunday, and O'Connell expressed uncertainty that Nick Mullens (back) would be ready to return from injured reserve this week. As a result, practice-squad member Sean Mannion could be elevated for Week 10 to back up Dobbs.
Prior to exiting the contest after sustaining a concussion, Hall completed five of his six passing attempts for 78 yards and carried twice for 11 yards. With Hall sidelined, Joshua Dobbs will take over at QB for the Vikings on Sunday.
Hall is getting the first chance to sub in for Kirk Cousins, who was lost for the season Week 8 when he tore his Achilles in Green Bay. Upon his entrance in the fourth quarter, Hall completed three of four passes for 23 yards, had two carries for minus-1 yard and lost a fumble. Despite not having the services of Justin Jefferson (hamstring) for at least one more game, Hall will have wide receiver Jordan Addison, tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back Alexander Mattison at his disposal. In the long term, Hall also will have to contend with Joshua Dobbs, who was acquired from the Cardinals on Tuesday and whom O'Connell relayed Friday will be active as Hall's backup Sunday, per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
The comments came mere minutes after Minnesota acquired quarterback Joshua Dobbs, whom O'Connell said could be available to play Sunday, too. In the wake of Kirk Cousins' season-ending torn Achilles, Hall is the top in-house option at the moment with Nick Mullens (back) on injured reserve and Sean Mannion on the practice squad. If Hall gets the nod this weekend, he'll be making his second appearance as a pro after completing three of four passes for 23 yards, rushing twice for minus-1 yard and losing a fumble this past Sunday in Green Bay following Cousins' exit in the fourth quarter.
The rookie quarterback lost a fumble while being sacked on his second dropback, but Hall otherwise acquitted himself fairly well in his first career regular-season action in the NFL. Cousins will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury, but per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Vikings fear he's suffered a season-ending Achilles tear. In that scenario, Nick Mullens (back) would eventually come off IR to take over starting duties, but he'll be required to miss at least one more game before he's eligible to be activated. That might leave Hall as Minnesota's only real option under center for a Week 9 clash with the Falcons.
