and Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collard here.

Coming up in just a second, my conversation with Brian Murphy about the Vikings win over the Atlanta Falcons,

but since I just arrived back from TCO Performance Center wanted to give you a quick update

on everything Kevin O'Connell said about some of the injuries that the Vikings sustained on Sunday, starting with Jaren Hall and KJ Osbourn are still in the concussion protocol as we all would have expected

after the hits that they took and coaches really shouldn't speculate about when players are coming back or the severity of

concussion so Kevin O'Connell did not do that today just said they're in the

protocol they're going to go through whatever they have to do medically to see when they can return,

though I would not have high expectations for that, just considering the severity of what we saw

from the injuries and with

Jaren Hall he has essentially been ruled out of starting this week by

Kevin O'Connell he said that Josh Dobbs will be starting next week I know that I saw some people suggesting that they should just

roll with Jaren Hall because he knows the offense and that he looked better but considering

his injury considering everything that Josh Dobbs was able to do against

Atlanta makes a lot of sense to just say right now Josh Dobbs, QB1 throughout the week and then we'll see what happens with Jaren Hall's health.

That likely means Sean Mannion is going to be

the backup quarterback.

For those of you asked after Kim Acres went out, who was the emergency quarterback?

It seemed like Kevin O'Connell didn't know.

He joked around that maybe it was him.

I mean, honestly, I don't have a great answer.

Maybe CJ Ham would have been that because he knows the offense so well or

I don't know Jordan Addison used to be a quarterback.
