Here are Thursday’s minor moves:
Minnesota Vikings
- Elevated: DL Jalen Redmond, TE Robert Tonyan
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Designated for return from IR: LB Tyler Matakevich
Seattle Seahawks
- Waived: S Ty Okada
This has been a busy week for Tonyan transactions. The Vikings dropped him from their 53-man roster to their practice squad the same day, as vested vets are allowed to do before the trade deadline, and are now elevating the veteran tight end. Tonyan has played in four Vikings games this season but has yet to catch a pass. His return to the active roster comes as the team ruled out T.J. Hockenson, who remains in the PUP-return window. Hockenson’s window closes Friday, pointing to a Week 9 debut.
