Minnesota Vikings Acquire Quarterback Brett Rypien from Colts
December 24, 2025 - 12:56
The Minnesota Vikings have successfully claimed quarterback Brett Rypien off waivers after he was released by the Indianapolis Colts. This move comes at a crucial time for the Vikings, as their starting quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, is sidelined due to a hand injury. Rypien, who was signed to the Colts' active roster just a week before his release, brings valuable experience as a backup quarterback.
Rypien is known for his time with the Denver Broncos, where he showcased his potential in various roles. His arrival in Minnesota adds depth to the quarterback position, especially during a challenging week for the team. With McCarthy unable to play, the Vikings will look to Rypien to step in and provide stability as they navigate their upcoming games. This acquisition reflects the Vikings' proactive approach in addressing their roster needs and ensuring they remain competitive in the league.
