Vikings' John Wolford: Serving as emergency QB
Wolford (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Cowboys, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
The quarterback was elevated to the active roster for Minnesota's Week 13 matchup with Seattle with J.J. McCarthy sidelined due to a concussion. Last week, though, McCarthy returned, moving Wolford to the emergency role behind McCarthy and Max Brosmer. It's a role he'll play again Sunday night.

Vikings' John Wolford: Serving as emergency QB in Week 14
Wolford (coach's decision) is inactive and will be Minnesota's emergency third quarterback against Washington on Sunday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Wolford was elevated to the active roster last weekend and worked as Minnesota's No. 2 QB with J.J. McCarthy (concussion) sidelined. The Vikings then signed Wolford to the active roster Saturday, but with McCarthy out of concussion protocol, the former is inactive against the Commanders. In order for Wolford to be eligible to take the field Sunday, both McCarthy and No. 2 QB Max Brosmer would need to exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejection.

Vikings' John Wolford: Signs with active roster
The Vikings signed Wolford to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Wolford was elevated to the active roster for Week 13 against the Seahawks as a backup for Max Brosmer in the absence of starter J.J. McCarthy. With McCarthy and Brosmer once again healthy for Week 14, it seems the Vikings organization felt it had a roster spot available to commit to depth in the quarterback room.

John Wolford: Reverts to practice squad
Wolford reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Wolford was elevated to the Vikings' active roster for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, when he served as Minnesota's backup quarterback behind Max Brosmer due to the absence of J.J. McCarthy (concussion). Wolford didn't up playing during Sunday's 26-0 loss, and with McCarthy expected to clear the league's concussion protocol, the former is unlikely to be elevated to the Vikings' active roster for their Week 14 clash against the Commanders.
