Overview
- The Vikings removed DeeJay Dallas from their 53-man roster on October 23 to free a spot for running back Jordan Mason.
- Minnesota signed Dallas to the practice squad on October 24 and elevated him to the active roster for the Week 7 game versus the Indianapolis Colts on October 25.
- Both Dallas and Mason were available for the Colts game after Mason was activated from injured reserve, giving the Vikings a fuller running-back rotation behind starter Aaron Jones Sr.
- Dallas has been used mainly on special teams with limited offensive snaps, and the quick release–re-sign sequence preserved his role while complying with NFL practice-squad elevation rules.
- Reports noted the Seattle Seahawks as a possible future suitor because Dallas offers low-cost depth and special-teams value, but that interest remained unconfirmed in the coverage.
