Vikings Sign K Chase McLaughlin To Practice Squad

September 8th, 2020 at 12:58pm CST by Zachary Links

The Vikings signed kicker Chase McLaughlin, kicker Chase McLaughlin, linebacker Hardy Nickerson, and defensive tackle Albert Huggins to the practice squad on Tuesday. With that, the Vikes have filled out their 16-man unit:

FB Jake Bargas
T Blake Brandel
QB Jake Browning
OL Aviante Collins
TE Brandon Dillon
CB Mark Fields
G Kyle Hinton
WR Alexander Hollins
DT Albert Huggins
C Brett Jones
LB Blake Lynch
K Chase McLaughlin
CB Nate Meadors
S Josh Metellus
K Chase McLaughlin
LB Hardy Nickerson
QB Nate Stanley

McLaughlin bounced around last year, appearing in games for the Colts, Chargers, and 49ers. He started off the 2019 season with the Vikings’ practice squad, and they’re bringing him back in 2020 to serve as extra insurance for Dan Bailey. Earlier this summer, he lost out on the Colts’ kicking job when Chris Ballard & Co. chose rookie Rodrigo Blankenship.

NFL Reserve/Futures Contracts: 1/12/20

January 12th, 2020 at 8:16pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The Vikings added a group of players on reserve/futures contracts today, and we also missed some of the Rams’ from earlier in the week. For a primer/refresher on what exactly these deals entail, click here.

Los Angeles Rams

DB Adonis Alexander
DL Marquise Copeland
WR Greg Dortch
OLB Jeff Holland
OG Jeremiah Kolone
OLB Jachai Polite
C Nate Trewyn
TE Ethan Wolf
QB John Wolford

Minnesota Vikings

Polite is the most well-known of the bunch. A highly regarded talent, he fell to the Jets with the 68th pick this past draft because of off-field concerns. He was shockingly cut by New York despite being an early third-round pick, and eventually ended up on the Rams’ practice squad.
