The Minnesota Vikings announced on Tuesday that they have signed former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones to their 53-man roster.
In a corresponding move, they waived backup quarterback Brett Rypien. Jones will join the Vikings roster to back up Sam Darnold during the playoffs.
Jones initially signed with the Vikings practice squad on Nov. 27 after being released by the Giants. He has remained on the practice squad since, but will now be available in the postseason in the event that Darnold needs to be replaced.
