The Minnesota Vikings were in a tough spot going into their week 18 game against the Detroit Lions. They had six players listed as out for Sunday’s game and would have to make some roster moves to have enough cornerbacks for gameday.
It can get difficult to field a healthy roster by the end of the year but that’s why they have the practice squad, giving you options to help fortify the roster.
On Saturday afternoon, the Vikings made four moves to get the roster in better shape.
WR Jalen Nailor
- Placed on injured reserve
Nailor has missed the last three games with a concussion and was already ruled out of Sunday’s game.
WR Lucky Jackson
- Signed to the active roster from the practice squad
Jackson has worked his way ahead of both Trishton Jackson and N’Keal Harry. He takes the place of Nailor on the active roster.
CB Joejuan Williams
- Elevated from practice squad to active roster for Sunday’s game
Williams will provide much-needed depth with both Byron Murphy Jr. and Mekhi Blackmon out.
CB Jaylin Williams
- Elevated from practice squad to active roster for Sunday’s game
For the third consecutive game, Williams will be active. He got into the game against the Lions with Akayleb Evans having struggled.
