The Vikings trade Joshua Dobbs with Kirk Cousins ​​out for the season

Pending Dobbs passes a physical, the Vikings will receive him and a conditional seven-round pick in the 2024 draft for a 2024 sixth-round pick. The conditional pick could become a sixth-round pick depending on Dobbs’ playing time, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Cousins’ torn right Achilles tendon left the Vikings with rookie Jarren Hall as the only healthy quarterback on the 53-man roster. Nick Mullens will be on injured reserve for at least another week with a back injury, while veteran Sean Mannion has been in the practice squad since October 11.

Hall will start the Vikings’ game Sunday at the Atlanta Falcons, coach Kevin O’Connell said Tuesday. O’Connell said Dobbs would “likely” play a supporting role for the game.

With Kyler Murray sidelined after a torn ACL last season, Dobbs started the Cardinals’ first eight games and threw for 1,569 yards with eight touchdowns and five interceptions. The Cardinals are 1-7 this season.

Cousins ​​suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles tendon in the Vikings’ win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Hall replaced Cousins ​​on Sunday at Lambeau Field, completing 3 of 4 passes for 23 yards and losing a sack fumble.

The Vikings have won their past three games to improve to 4-4. Cousins, who has been selected to two straight Pro Bowls, was enjoying another strong season. He’s tied for the NFL lead with 18 touchdown passes, throwing for 2,331 yards and was intercepted just five times.

Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon announced Monday that Dobbs will not start Sunday’s game at the Cleveland Browns. Arizona plans to start rookie Clayton Toone, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

However, Gannon said Monday there was a chance Murray could start as he continues to ramp up his comeback from ACL surgery. Gannon said the timing of Murray’s return to the field will be dictated by the Cardinals more than who they play. Murray’s 21-day practice period will end after he was set to return from the physically unable to play list on Nov. 8, days before Arizona hosts the Atlanta Falcons.
