Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder is signing with the Minnesota Vikings ' practice squad, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Ridder signed with the Vikings earlier this season but was waived after quarterback J.J. McCarthy returned from an ankle sprain.

Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones are thriving with their new teams while J.J. McCarthy has struggled and has missed games due to injury.

The Minnesota Vikings are flirting with a quarterback controversy on their hands for a third straight offseason in 2026.

Some serious questions are starting to be asked about quarterback J.J. McCarthy's future with the Minnesota Vikings.
