Vikings Activate QB Kellen Mond From Reserve/COVID-19 List
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Rookie quarterback Kellen Mond returned to practice for the Minnesota Vikings Tuesday after spending 10 days on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Mond reportedly tested positive for the virus before a night practice on July 31. Starting quarterback Kirk Cousins and Nate Stanley were also placed on the COVID-19 list, though both returned to practice last week.
Cousins said he was deemed a close contact to Mond because the room the team was holding quarterback meetings in was “deemed to be too small.”
Jake Browning was the only quarterback available for that July 31 practice. Head coach Mike Zimmer praised Browning after the practice, specifically citing his vaccination status.
