Minnesota Vikings QB Jaren Hall suffered a concussion in the 1st quarter of his 1st National Football League start today and will be sidelined for the remainder of the clash.
Hall sustained the injury at the end of the franchise’s 2nd possession after a 3-yard scramble on 3rd down. Hall was struck hard by Atlanta’s CB Jeff Okudah and LB Kaden Elliss, and the back of his helmet struck the turf very toughly. All the people on the field called for doctors to get on the field, but the greatest news is that the Vikings quarterback left the field by his own power.

Minnesota place-kicker Greg Joseph scored a 19-yard FG to tie the match. Jaren was replaced by Josh Dobbs, whom the organization acquired a few days ago from the Arizona Cardinals following a campaign-ending ACL injury to QB1 Kirk Cousins.
