The Minnesota Vikings are considering which quarterback is best suited to maximize the skills of All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson. Kirk Cousins, who was the starter when Jefferson originally got injured, is now out for the season with an Achilles injury. Backup Nick Mullens and No. 3 quarterback Jaren Hall have both dealt with injuries, while newcomer Josh Dobbs has struggled with turnovers. Coach Kevin O'Connell said that Jefferson's return is a significant factor in the decision-making process and that the quarterback position plays a crucial role in getting Jefferson involved in the offense. The Vikings will use their upcoming bye week to evaluate their options and choose a starter for their game against the Las Vegas Raiders on December 10.
