Overview

  • The Vikings announced Tuesday that undrafted rookie Corey Kiner has joined their practice squad.
  • Kiner spent the offseason with the 49ers before a high-ankle sprain in the second preseason game led to IR, a waived/injury designation on August 20, and an injury settlement.
  • In limited preseason work for San Francisco, he logged 12 carries for 68 yards and forced four missed tackles, per Pro Football Focus.
  • He arrives as Minnesota manages absences at running back with Aaron Jones (hamstring) and Ty Chandler (knee) on injured reserve, joining former 49er Jordan Mason in the backfield group.
  • Minnesota’s corresponding moves included releasing practice-squad players Lucky Johnson and Xazavian Valladay and reinstating receiver Jordan Addison.
