Vikings put Scott Crichton on IR, add Zach Moore from practice squad

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings added some defensive line depth to their roster on Saturday, signing defensive end Zach Moore from their practice squad and putting defensive end Scott Crichton on injured reserve with concussion and neck issues.

The move gives the Vikings another option for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, with defensive end Everson Griffen and defensive tackle Linval Joseph both listed as questionable. It also closes the book on a second disappointing season for Crichton, the Oregon State product the Vikings selected in the third round of the 2014 draft.
