Improves in preseason finale Mond was 16-of-23 passing for 196 yards with an interception and a lost fumble in Friday's preseason loss at Kansas City. He added five carries for 40 yards.
Impact Despite the turnovers, Mond improved in his third exhibition game as he led the Vikings to their only two touchdown drives of the preseason. With Jake Browning struggling in the preseason, Mond could open the regular season as the backup to Kirk Cousins despite an uneven exhibition slate.

Impact Mond fumbled a snap on his first series, and the offense didn't score on his six drives. However, Jake Browning also struggled, leaving open the possibility the Vikings could acquire a veteran to serve as the backup to Kirk Cousins. Mond likely will need a strong showing in the last preseason game to have a chance to win the backup role outright.

Shows rust Mond completed six of his 16 pass attempts for 53 yards in Saturday's preseason contest against the Broncos. He also rushed the ball five times for 25 yards.
Impact Mond wasn't expected to play in the game after missing 10 days of practice while on the COVID-19 list. Despite that, he entered the contest as the team's second quarterback. Predictably, Mond didn't look particularly sharp leading the offense, with his inexperience as a rookie and rust after missing practice likely contributing factors. Jake Browning served as the team's starting quarterback with Kirk Cousins sidelined, though Mond is projected to surpass Browning as the team's backup quarterback come the regular season.
