Mannion will back up Joshua Dobbs, who made his Vikings debut last week in Atlanta. Dobbs relieved rookie Jaren Hall, who left last week's game with a concussion late in the first quarter. Hall is in concussion protocol and was ruled out Friday for Sunday's noon (CT) game against the Saints (5-4).
Mannion has appeared in 14 games with the Rams and Vikings since 2015 and last played Jan. 2, 2022. He spent the 2022 season with Seattle.
Smith was elevated from the practice squad for the first time in 2023 last week. He played 12 defensive snaps and recorded one tackle against the Falcons
