The Minnesota Vikings announced on Friday afternoon two roster moves in signing cornerback Jameson Houston and waived OT Chim Okorafor.
The Vikings brought in Okorafor on August 14th as offensive tackle depth and waived OT Jacky Chen in the process.
They brought in cornerback depth in Houston, which is important before the final preseason game of the year with minor injuries at the position.
Houston has been around the block in the world of professional football. After going undrafted in 2020, Houston signed with the Cleveland Browns. During his NFL career, Houston spent time with the Browns, Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks.
Houston also spent time in both spring leagues, playing with the USFL’s Michigan Panthers in 2022 where he got two interceptions. He also played with the 2023 XFL’s San Antonio Brahmas.
This is a depth signing for the Vikings with the potential of Houston earning a spot on the practice squad.
