Cine was Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s first draft pick as Vikings GM in 2022. He was projected to be a fit in Ed Donatell’s defense, which was part of the Vic Fangio system. Cine didn’t crack the initial starting lineup and was primarily a special teams player before suffering a compound leg fracture in London four games into the season.

Daniel Jonesis available to be the Vikings' backup quarterback Monday against the Los Angeles Rams. Coach Kevin O’Connell would not say Thursday whether Jones will be given that role over Nick Mullens.
