The Vikings made a quiet roster move Friday that says a lot about where they are right now coming off the bye at 5-0.
The Minnesota Vikings have re-signed edge rusher Jihad Ward to their practice squad while releasing rookie tackle Tristan Leigh and running back DeeJay Dallas. Ward rejoins the team after a brief stint with the New York Giants earlier this season, bringing familiar defensive depth for defensive coordinator Brian Flores ahead of Minnesota's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Dallas was released to clear a roster spot for running back Jordan Mason, who is expected to return from a thumb injury. Meanwhile, Leigh was waived as Minnesota's offensive line regained health coming out of their bye week, with left tackle Christian Darrisaw clearing concussion protocol.
