During the preseason, the Minnesota Vikings had some quarterback issues. They initially went into training camp with Kellen Mond and Sean Mannion but it became evident that they couldn’t roll into the season with those two behind starter Kirk Cousins.
Before the season started, they traded for Nick Mullens to be the backup quarterback and signed David Blough to the practice squad as extra depth. He had appeared in seven games with five starts and threw for 1,033 yards with four touchdowns and seven interceptions.
With Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray suffering a season-ending torn ACL on Monday night, they signed Blough off of the Vikings practice squad to provide depth behind Colt McCoy for the rest of the season. They had recently signed Carson Strong to the practice squad. He ran the true Air Raid while at Nevada and will translate well to what the Cardinals run in Arizona.
With the move, the Vikings now have an open spot on their practice squad.
