Today’s practice squad moves:
Las Vegas Raiders
- Signed: CB Rejzohn Wright
- Released: TE John Samuel Shenker
Minnesota Vikings
- Signed: QB Tanner Morgan
New York Jets
- Signed: OL Xavier Newman-Johnson
- Released: OL Adam Pankey
This will be a bit of a homecoming for quarterback Tanner Morgan, who played college ball at the University of Minnesota. Morgan had a breakout campaign in 2019, finishing with 30 touchdowns, but he only had a combined 26 passing touchdowns between 2020 and 2022. As a result, the QB went undrafted in this year’s draft, and following a preseason stint with the Steelers, he’ll now be joining the Vikings’ quarterbacks room.
Vikings backup QB Nick Mullens is dealing with a back injury that kept him out of practice today. Morgan will temporarily slide into the QB3 role behind Kirk Cousins and fifth-round rookie Jaren Hall.
Tanner Morgan getting $$$$ to play fb yet???? Good lord this guy never got one OUNCE better after his sophmore year at the U of M. Not ONE.
Have heard he’s a good guy , but come on . they cannot seriously think he can be a NFL QB????
Hopefully practice squad means you get $5oo a week tops.
