On Tuesday, the Minnesota Vikings made several roster moves, most of which involved players departing. Let\u2019s get you caught up on all of the moves as they\u2019ve just been officially announced by the team.<\/p>\n
First, the Vikings announced that they have terminated the contract of wide receiver Tim Jones. Jones had been elevated to the active roster from the practice squad for the first game of the season and was on the 53-man roster for the next two. The expectation seems to be that he will sign back with the practice squad.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the practice squad, the team waived two members of the practice squad this afternoon: wide receiver Lucky Jackson and running back Xazavian Halladay. Jackson has been with the Vikings\u2019 practice squad for some time, while Halladay joined the Vikings during the preseason and had a decent performance in the team\u2019s final exhibition contest.<\/p>\n
To fill one of the spots on the practice squad, the Vikings signed running back Corey Kiner. Kiner was undrafted this past April after playing his college ball at the University of Cincinnati. He was with the San Francisco 49ers during the preseason, and the Niners waived him with an injury settlement in mid-August due to an ankle injury he suffered. He had 12 carries for 68 yards for the Niners during the preseason.<\/p>\n
Lastly, the Vikings waived undrafted rookie defensive lineman Alexander Williams from their injured reserve list.<\/p>\n
The Vikings did not officially announce the reinstatement of wide receiver Jordan Addison following his three-game suspension, but Jones\u2019 release means that there\u2019s a spot on the 53-man roster for him to take tomorrow, when the team will lose the temporary roster exemption that they\u2019ve been given for him.<\/p>\n
