Overview

  • The team announced on Dec. 9 that outside linebacker Nick Hampton was waived from the 53-man roster.
  • Tight end Nick Muse was released from the practice squad after joining in November and previously recording one career catch with the Vikings.
  • The transactions leave an open roster spot entering Week 15 against the Lions, and designated-to-return wideout Tutu Atwell could be activated this week.
  • Hampton, a 2023 fifth-round pick, posted 10 tackles in 12 games this season with 112 defensive snaps and 194 special-teams snaps.
  • In Sunday’s game against the Cardinals, Desjuan Johnson logged 24 edge snaps with six pressures and two quarterback hits, while Hampton played 12 defensive snaps.
