Vikings Roster Revival: Gameday Decisions Gets a…
The Minnesota Vikings have elevated just one player for the second-consecutive week in lost snapper Jake McQuaide.
This is the second elevation for McQuaide this season. He’s in for All-Pro center Andrew DePaola who was placed on injured reserve after injuring his hand against the Indianapolis Colts. The Vikings will have to figure something out for the fourth game and they might be waiting to see if someone needs to go on injured reserve.
It also shows how the Vikings are choosing to use their gameday roster this year. They used a lot of their elevations early in the year with some of the injury issues they were dealing with. Players like Jalen Redmond and Robert Tonyan had their elevations exhausted early in the year due to injuries.
They have strayed away from that over the last two week after using it heavily early in the season. It helps that the injury report is clean this week outside of Gabe Murphy, who is still in his 21-day practice window.
The Vikings are being smart with their roster elevations right now because they don’t need to use them.
