The wait is over for everyone who wanted a change at quarterback. Head coach Kevin O’Connell announced on Thursday afternoon that the Minnesota Vikings will be starting Jaren Hall on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
The fifth round pick out of BYU will be getting his second start of the season. He started against the Atlanta Falcons but left after the second drive of the game due to a concussion. It took him a couple of weeks to heal from it and then he was promoted to QB2 after Josh Dobbs was benched.
The fanbase has been calling for Hall to start for awhile now and they finally got their wish. Here is how they reacted.

Excited for Jaren Hall. Limited snaps vs ATL but was impressed with his abilities and presence.
No need to play hero ball against slumping Packers Def, play clean and get the dub. #SKOL— Ben Leber (@nacholeber) December 28, 2023
Nick Mullens benched Jaren Hall Starting. Wish we could see him with Hockenson and a healthy Addision.

Glad to see Jaren Hall getting another shot, he was never replaced due to ineffectiveness.
He should do as well as anyone they’ve had out there (and I think) if not better.
