Nick Mullens is returning to the Minnesota Vikings, the team confirmed late Tuesday.
Details of the reunion aren’t clear, but Mullens will be entering his second year – like everyone else on the team – in head coach Kevin O’Connell’s offense. Mullens was the backup quarterback to Kirk Cousins in 2022.
The Vikings are expected to re-sign QB Nick Mullens, who backed-up Kirk Cousins last season, per source.
