The 9-2 Minnesota Vikings are preparing for their first home game in nearly a month, this week vs the Arizona Cardinals. They haven’t played in front of the league’s best crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium since November 3, a win over the Indianapolis Colts.
There has been a lot of construction going on with the roster, the last couple days. On Tuesday, we saw them place ILB Ivan Pace Jr. on Injured Reserve. They also signed inside linebacker Jamin Davis, off the Green Bay Packers practice squad, and activated UDFA outside linebacker Gabe Murphy off of IR.
Wednesday was more of the same… but different. After days of rumors connecting Daniel Jones to the Minnesota Vikings, it was announced this morning that he was indeed signing with the purple. This afternoon, more roster moves were announced. One day after being activated to the 53-man, Gabe Murphy was waived.
As long as he isn’t claimed, it’s expected that the UDFA out of UCLA will land on the Vikings’ practice squad. Taking his place on the active roster is long-snapper, Jake McQuaide. Tight end Nick Muse was signed to the practice squad, after he was activated to the 53-man on November 23, then waived on November 25.
Daniel Jones is not expected to arrive in Eagan, until Friday, according to head coach Kevin O’Connell. That means we’ll probably see him added to the practice squad roster, at that time. That’s probably around the same time that Murphy will join the practice squad, as well.
LS Jake McQuaide was signed a few weeks ago, after Pro Bowl long-snapper Andrew DePaola was placed on injured reserve. He and replacement kicker John Parker Romo have played together in the past. The two have helped combine for 8-of-8 on field goal tries, since putting on a Minnesota Vikings uniform in week 10.
