Plays zero snaps for Minnesota Jones didn't play a single offensive snap for the Vikings after he was signed by the team in November.

Impact After completing 216 of 341 passes (63.3 percent) for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions through 10 games for the at-the-time 2-8 Giants, Jones was released by the team and subsequently signed to the Vikings' practice squad. Jones was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Minnesota's wild-card playoff loss to the Rams, but he was deemed the emergency, third quarterback for that contest. Jones is slated to become a free agent this offseason, and it's unclear if the Vikings have plans to continue to try and develop the 27-year-old quarterback.

Impact Jones joined the Vikings' practice squad in late November after being released by the Giants. He wasn't elevated to Minnesota's active roster during the regular season, but he was signed to the active roster this past Tuesday. As the emergency quarterback, Jones will not be allowed to play Monday unless starter Sam Darnold and backup Nick Mullens were both to be taken out of the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Joins active roster The Vikings signed Jones off their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact After signing with Minnesota's practice squad in late November, Jones was never elevated to the 53-man roster for the final six games of the regular season. Even so, his ample starting experience during his time with the Giants could make him the Vikings' top backup option at quarterback ahead of Nick Mullens if starter Sam Darnold were to miss time at any point during Minnesota's postseason run. Jones is still scheduled to hit free agency this offseason, though by adding him to their roster, the Vikings will net a compensatory draft pick if the signal-caller signs elsewhere.

Joining Minnesota's practice squad Jones agreed Wednesday to sign with the Vikings' practice squad after clearing waivers Monday, Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network report.

Impact After drawing interest from plenty of suitors upon getting waived by the Giants last week, Jones was eager to join a playoff-contending club and appears to have found a good landing spot in Minnesota. Though Sam Darnold will remain the Vikings' starting quarterback, Jones is expected to be elevated from the practice squad and serve as Darnold's backup once he gets up to speed with head coach Kevin O'Connell's offensive system. By joining the practice squad rather than Minnesota's 53-man roster, Jones will have the option to sign with another organization if a better opportunity emerges elsewhere later in the season before re-entering free agency this spring. Jones had started in each of the Giants' first 10 games of the season and completed 63.3 percent of his passes for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions while carrying 67 times for 265 yards and two scores.

Won't join Las Vegas Jones has eliminated the Raiders from consideration to be the next team he plays for, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Las Vegas seemed to present a logical landing spot for Jones, especially after Gardner Minshew suffered a season-ending broken collarbone Sunday against Denver. However, Jones is reportedly interested in linking up with a postseason contender, which the 2-9 Raiders certainly are not. Schultz reports that Jones has "substantial interest" from multiple playoff teams, but it's unclear if any of those would give the former Giant a chance to compete for a starting role.

Could sign next week Jones has been contacted by 10 teams, including one that is looking for him to play this week, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday. He's expected to sign midweek next week.

Impact Jones reportedly would prefer to sign with a playoff contender, but it's interesting that there's at least one place where he could go as a starter.
