The Vikings quarterback situation has been in flux all season. But as Minnesota heads into possibly its final game of the year, the team does know the QB depth chart.

On Friday, Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed that Josh Dobbs will be second team, behind starter Nick Mullens and ahead of rookie Jaren Hall.
