The Minnesota Vikings plan to waive quarterback Kellen Mond, a league source confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday morning.
Mond's fate was sealed last week when the Vikings acquired quarterback Nick Mullens in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. It's possible but not certain that he could be signed to the team's practice squad later this week.
The NFL Network was first to report the news of Mond's expected release.
Mond, a third-round pick in 2021, never got settled in Minnesota. He tested positive for COVID-19 during training camp last summer, setting back his development and forcing the Vikings to sign Sean Mannion as Kirk Cousins' backup before the start of the season.
