The Minnesota Vikings are coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and are now making a roster move before their next game.

The former Minnesota Golden Gopher came in as a backup after backup Nick Mullens suffered a back injury and was ruled inactive for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.
