Done deal: The Vikings have secured another deal from…

New Minnesota Vikings quarterback Josh Dobbs will likely get a chance to move to center in Week 10 when his new team hosts the New Orleans Saints.
Dobbs was acquired from the Arizona Cardinals at the NFL trade deadline following an Achilles injury suffered by starting quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.
The injury occurred as the Vikings tied their season record at 4-4.
The Vikings have improved quite a bit on defense this season, and they’re entering a part of their schedule where they can continue to put together wins.
They won 4/5 matches after losing the first 3 matches of the season.
The Vikings have upcoming games against the Falcons, Saints, Broncos and Bears.
If the Vikings can successfully negotiate the next part of their schedule – winning at least 3 of 4 – they will have a solid chance to make the playoffs and possibly catch the Detroit Lions in the NFC North.

Dobbs admitted that the news of getting traded by the Cardinals to the Vikings took him by surprise after starting all 8 games for Arizona this season. “It was first announced I was starting for the Cardinals in Cleveland and then the next 36 hours were crazy after that. I was surprised, but at this point of my career and my journey, you’re not too surprised about anything happening.”

Rookie quarterback Jaren Hall is expected to get the start for the Vikings in their Week 9 game against the Falcons, but he is a developmental prospect who was not expected to play this season. The Vikings brought in Josh Dobbs to deliver productive quarterback play since Cousins is out for the rest of the year.
