Coach Kevin O'Connell named Hall the Vikings' starting quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Packers.
Hall will take over for Nick Mullens with the Vikings in desperate need of a win to keep their playoff hopes alive following back-to-back losses. In two brief appearances earlier this season, Hall completed eight of 10 passes for 101 yards, had four carries for 10 yards and lost a fumble in Weeks 8 and 9 at Green Bay and Atlanta. He won't have TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) available to him in Week 17, but WR Justin Jefferson represents a reliable option for Minnesota's passing game.
