Dan Bailey Jersey , sign OG Kaleb Johnson On Monday, the Minnesota Vikings made a move to shore up their offensive line depth a bit, at least for the remainder of Training Camp.The team has signed guard Kaleb Johnson, who had been waived by the Chicago Bears on Saturday. Johnson played his college ball at Rutgers, and went undrafted in 2015. He’s never appeared in a regular season NFL game, but has made stops with the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns Brett Jones Jersey , Arizona Cardinals, and Kansas City Chiefs in his first three seasons in the NFL.To make room for him on the roster, the Vikings officially placed guard Nick Easton on injured reserve, effectively ending his season. Easton had surgery on a herniated disc in his neck last week after getting a second opinion on his injuries.This certainly isn’t the high-impact signing that I’m sure most Vikings fans were hoping for, but it does give the team more offensive linemen to take a look at over the course of the rest of this preseason. We’ll have to see how the situation shakes out over the next couple of weeks. The Vikings selected Laquon Treadwell one pick after Washington took Josh Doctson in the first round of the 2016 draft and their interest in adding a wideout suggests Doctson could have been the choice if he was still on the board.Neither player worked out all that well for their initial team, but Doctson has now made his way to Minnesota to flesh out the Vikings’ receiving corps for the 2019 season. Doctson said that it was a “no-brainer” to sign with the Vikings when they called because of the chemistry he feels with Kirk Cousins after they played together in Washington.The quarterback said there will be a transition period as Doctson gets the offense down, but agreed that their past relationship should be a benefit to making that as smooth as possible.“It’s hard to bring someone in who I have no reps with and expect them Ameer Abdullah Jersey , with two or three days of practice, to jump in, but you have a longer relationship, I think that makes a big difference, and I think he does have some special skill sets that we can use to our advantage,” Cousins said, via the team’s website. “You want depth at every position. It’s not a luxury you have much of the time Danielle Hunter Jersey , but anytime you can have a guy, who for me in 2017, was really our top receiver, to have a guy like that who can provide depth to your roster, if heaven forbid, something does happen to one of our receivers, I think that’s a big asset.”Adam Thielen Eric Kendricks Jersey , Stefon Diggs, Chad Beebe and Olabisi Johnson were the four wideouts on the roster before Doctson’s arrival. Diggs missed practice Wednesday with a hamstring injury and a continued absence would put that chemistry to an early test.
