Available for Monday Hall (concussion) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.
Impact Hall sustained a concussion in his first career start against the Falcons in Week 9. He was able to log full practice sessions ahead of Week 12 and seems to have passed the NFL's five-step concussion protocol given that he does not carry an injury designation. While Joshua Dobbs has established himself as the starting quarterback for the Vikings after being traded from the Cardinals, there is less certainty around whether Hall will be the backup or if Minnesota opts to roll with Nick Mullens as the QB2.

Won't play Sunday Hall (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Denver.
Impact Despite getting in a full practice Thursday, Hall has yet to make it through all five phases of the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury early during a Week 9 win in Atlanta. The Vikings will continue to roll with Joshua Dobbs at quarterback with Kirk Cousins (Achilles) out for the season, but Dobbs' direct backup this Sunday figures to be Nick Mullens (back), who is expected to be activated from IR on Saturday, as coach Kevin O'Connell told Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com.

No activity Wednesday Hall (concussion) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Impact Hall's early departure this past Sunday paved the way for Joshua Dobb heroics in an eventual 31-28 victory in Atlanta. A concussion was to blame, and Hall now is kicking off Week 10 prep with no activity to speak of, potentially making it difficult for him to be available as Dobbs' backup Sunday against the Saints. With Kirk Cousins (Achilles) out for the season and Nick Mullens (back) still on injured reserve, practice-squad member Nick Mullens may get the No. 2 assignment instead of Hall of the latter doesn't clear the protocol for head injuries.

Gearing up for potential start Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday during his appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio that the Vikings are preparing as if Hall will be the team's starting quarterback Sunday in Atla...
Impact The comments came mere minutes after Minnesota acquired quarterback Joshua Dobbs, whom O'Connell said could be available to play Sunday, too. In the wake of Kirk Cousins' season-ending torn Achilles, Hall is the top in-house option at the moment with Nick Mullens (back) on injured reserve and Sean Mannion on the practice squad. If Hall gets the nod this weekend, he'll be making his second appearance as a pro after completing three of four passes for 23 yards, rushing twice for minus-1 yard and losing a fumble this past Sunday in Green Bay following Cousins' exit in the fourth quarter.

Thrust into spotlight Hall completed three of four passes for 23 yards after replacing Kirk Cousins (Achilles) in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-10 win over the Packers.
Impact The rookie quarterback lost a fumble while being sacked on his second dropback, but Hall otherwise acquitted himself fairly well in his first career regular-season action in the NFL. Cousins will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury, but per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Vikings fear he's suffered a season-ending Achilles tear. In that scenario, Nick Mullens (back) would eventually come off IR to take over starting duties, but he'll be required to miss at least one more game before he's eligible to be activated. That might leave Hall as Minnesota's only real option under center for a Week 9 clash with the Falcons.
