The Vikings signed Jones off their practice squad Tuesday.

The quarterback didn't see any time on the 53-man roster for the Vikings after being signed to the practice squad in late November. Even so, his ample starting experience with the Giants could make him a candidate to leapfrog Nick Mullens if starter Sam Darnold were to get hurt during Minnesota's upcoming postseason run. Jones is still scheduled to hit free agency this offseason, though by adding him to their roster, the Vikings could net a compensatory draft pick if the signal-caller signs elsewhere.
