The Vikings have made a significant move by releasing Tanner Morgan, former Minnesota Gophers quarterback, from the practice squad, signaling potential changes in their quarterback lineup. After the Vikings’ disappointing 12-10 loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, head coach Kevin O’Connell avoided committing to Josh Dobbs as the starting quarterback post the bye week.
Instead, he mentioned both veteran Nick Mullens and rookie Jaren Hall as potential options, leaving room for speculation about the team’s quarterback situation.
The hesitation to confirm Dobbs as the starter is fueled by his recent struggles, marked by eight turnovers in the last four games. Despite the excitement surrounding Dobbs’ leadership in the past month, the increasing rate of turnovers raises concerns, prompting the Vikings to contemplate a change.
O’Connell emphasized the need for effective passing without the risk of turnovers, indicating a critical evaluation of the quarterback position and a potential shift in strategy for the team.
