Rookie QB Jaren Hall prepares for first start with Vikings after Cousins’ injury
Associated PressEAGAN, Minn. — Thrust into a regular-season game for the first time, Minnesota rookie quarterback Jaren Hall walked to the huddle deep in Vikings’ territory in Lambeau Field on Sunday, trying to keep his team together after Kirk Cousins went down with an injury. “Now, it’s just understanding your role’s a little bit bigger, so you’ve got to take a little more urgency to it, spend more time with the coaches and be great at answering questions and make sure I’m getting the information that I need.” Minnesota took Hall, already 25 years old, in the fifth round of this year’s draft as the 12th quarterback selected. Hall will become the third rookie quarterback to be selected on the third day of the draft and start a game this season, following Cleveland’s Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Las Vegas’ Aidan O’Connell. “Ultimately, you don’t know that anybody’s ready until they get out there,” Minnesota general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said of Hall.
