Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback Jaren Hall, making his first-career start in replace of an injured Kirk Cousins, suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.<\/p>\n
Hall endured a hard hit on a third-and-goal-scramble and had to be helped to the sideline following the play. He was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the contest, and recently acquired Josh Dobbs will take over under center just days after coming to Minnesota via a deadline trade with the Cardinals.<\/p>\n
The Vikings also lost wide receiver K.J. Osborn to a concussion in the first half.<\/p>\n
Hall, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2023 draft out of BYU, was thrust into the starting lineup following Cousins’ season-ended Achilles injury on Oct. 29.<\/p>\n
Hall went 5 of 6 for 78 yards, with 11 additional yards on the ground before his injury.<\/p>\n
Running back Cam Akersis the emergency QB for the Vikings if Dobbs were to suffer an injury.<\/p>\n
