Vikings Sign Former First-Round Pick Jamin Davis to Bolster Linebacker Depth

Minnesota adds Jamin Davis after placing Ivan Pace Jr. on injured reserve with a hamstring injury sustained in Sunday's win over Chicago.

The Vikings placed starting linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. on injured reserve due to a hamstring strain, sidelining him for at least four games.
Jamin Davis, a former first-round draft pick by Washington in 2021, was signed from the Green Bay Packers practice squad to join Minnesota's active roster.
Davis, known for his athleticism, had a productive 2023 season with Washington but struggled to fit into their new defensive scheme under Dan Quinn.
Minnesota's defensive coordinator Brian Flores is expected to use Davis in a special teams role initially, with potential to contribute on defense if he adapts to the scheme.
The Vikings also activated rookie edge rusher Gabriel Murphy from injured reserve, further bolstering their defensive depth heading into the final stretch of the season.
