SEAN MANNION NEWS

Packers Add Former NFL Quarterback to Coaching Staff Green Bay Packers coach Sean Mannion has been hired by coach Matt LaFleur to help with the quarterbacks and passing game.

FEBRUARY 3, 2024 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Elevated to roster Mannion was elevated to the Seahawks' active roster Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact It's perhaps a bad sign for the status of Geno Smith (groin) who didn't practice all week. The Seahawks already have backup Drew Lock on the roster and ready to play in case of Smith's absence, so Mannion would be the backup quarterback in that scenario. The 31-year-old last recorded a snap with Minnesota in 2021 where he completed 22 of 36 attempts for 189 yards and a touchdown.

Cut from practice squad The Vikings released Mannion from the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact With Jaren Hall due back from his concussion and Josh Dobbs and Nick Mullens healthy, Mannion is no longer needed by Minnesota. The 31-year-old hasn't attempted an NFL pass since Week 17 of the 2021 season.

Moves to active roster Mannion was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster by the Vikings on Saturday.

Impact With Jaren Hall out due to a concussion, Mannion should serve as Minnesota's backup to Joshua Dobbs Sunday against the Saints. The 31-year-old signed with the Vikings' practice squad Oct. 11 and last appeared in an NFL game in 2021. Mannion has one touchdown pass and three interceptions in 14 career games.

Vikings' Kellen Mond takes step back in battle with Sean Mannion for backup QB After looking good in the first preseason game, the second-year player struggled in the second one.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • TWINCITIES.COM

Steady second preseason performance Mannion was 10-for-15 for 65 yards passing with no touchdowns or interceptions in Saturday's preseason loss to San Francisco.

Impact Kellen Mond started the game but struggled by throwing two interceptions and no touchdowns. After Mond outplayed Mannion in the first preseason game, Mannion looked better in the second contest. The battle for the backup quarterback role looks even at this point and likely will be decided late in training camp.

Kellen Mond or Sean Mannion as Vikings backup QB? Is that really the question? The team's most intriguing camp duel should be neither intriguing nor or a duel. Neither is the quarterback of the future.

Kellen Mond Surges Past Sean Mannion in Vikings' Backup QB Race Mond is clearly ahead of Mannion after the Raiders game, but concerns remain.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Fills in as starter Mannion got the start under center in place of Kirk Cousins (rest) in Sunday's preseason opener against the Raiders, going eight of 12 for 79 yards in the 26-20 loss.

Impact Mannion split reps with Kellen Mond (as expected), but it was the latter who was able to post the gaudier stat line (119 yards and two touchdowns), albeit against the Raiders' backup defenders in the second half of the exhibition. This is still undoubtedly Kirk Cousins' team, so Mannion and Mond will compete for who will be the veteran's backup in the coming weeks.

Will split preseason reps Sunday Mannion and Kellen Mond will get a "50-50" split of reps in Sunday's preseason game against Las Vegas, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Mannion and Kellen Mond are in a tight competition for the backup role to starter Kirk Cousins and their preseason will go a lot way to determining the winner. Cousins will miss the game after testing positive for Covid-19, but he was unlikely to play in the game even if healthy. Head coach Kevin O'Connell did not say whether Mannion or Mond will start Sunday's game, however.
