00:02 - Chow, as we look around the NFL,

00:04 one of the stories yesterday in that early window,

00:07 BYU rookie, Jared Hall gets the start for Minnesota

00:11 following the Achilles injury to Kirk Cousins.

00:14 He leads the game in the opening half,

00:16 entering in concussion protocol.

00:18 Joshua Dobbs comes in five days after arriving

00:22 in Minneapolis from that trade deadline from Arizona

00:26 and leads the Vikings back to a victory.

00:29 But Dr. Chow, now with Jaren Hall in concussion protocol,

00:32 what are those discussions happening behind the scenes

00:35 for this Vikings franchise of who the starting quarterback

00:38 is going to be moving forward?

00:40 - Well, first of all, without Josh Dobbs,

00:42 the Vikings would have no quarterback luck at all.

00:45 And with the victory, you have to think

00:47 he gets the starting job now, even though he just arrived,

00:50 whether Jaron Hall clears or not.

00:52 I don't see it being Hall because even if he can clear

00:56 concussion protocol for next week,

00:59 are you really putting in a rookie

01:01 who didn't really practice with the team all week

01:04 and just throwing him in there?

01:05 You might do that for Kirk Cousins.

01:07 You're not doing that for Jaron Hall, no offense to him.

01:10 And especially when Josh Dobbs came in and played well,

01:12 now has an extra week.

01:14 But without Dobbs, the Vikings would have

01:16 no quarterback luck at all.

01:17 Obviously the Achilles to Kirk Cousins,

01:21 the concussion very early, Jaron Hall,

01:23 and their emergency backup quarterback yesterday

01:25 was none other than Cam Akers.

01:28 And he suffered a left Achilles tendon rupture

01:31 during the game.

01:32 Opposite side from the time with the Rams,

01:35 very unfortunate for Cam Akers.
