The Minnesota Vikings are giving rookie quarterback Jaren Hall another try in the latest iteration of their quarterback shuffle.

Hall will start for the Vikings against the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 31, head coach Kevin O’Connell announced Thursday. It's the fourth time the team has made a change at the position since Week 9.

The decision comes after the team took a few days to consider its options in Nick Mullens and Josh Dobbs. When asked Tuesday which signal caller would get the starting nod for the New Year's Eve contest, O'Connell shared the staff's points of emphasis:

The Vikings selected Hall in the fifth round of this year's draft out of BYU. He was the first option after veteran Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles tendon against the Packers in late October. Cousins went down early in the fourth quarter of the 24-10 win, and Hall went 3-of-4 for 23 yards in the relief appearance.

Hall made the first start of his career against the Atlanta Falcons in November, a debut that saw him suffer a concussion on a scramble during the opening drive. The 25-year-old recorded 57 yards on 5-of-6 passing before the injury. After being acquired from Arizona, Dobbs led the Vikings to a stunning comeback win over the Falcons and effectively earned the starting role as Hall recovered.

But after Dobbs was intercepted four times in a loss to the Chicago Bears, he got one more start against the Las Vegas Raiders that was cut short after three scoreless quarters. O'Connell turned to Mullens with nine minutes remaining in the scoreless game and he helped lead the Vikings to a 3-0 win.

Mullens is now being benched after starting the past two games for Minnesota. He threw four interceptions in a 30-24 loss to the Detroit Lions on Christmas Eve. Mullens, 28, also had two interceptions in a 27-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
