The Vikings are reportedly trading cornerback Mike Hughes to the Kansas City Chiefs for a late-round pick swap, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Hughes, the 2018 first-round pick, had all three of his Vikings seasons end on injured reserve, including the last two years due to a lingering neck injury suffered in the 2019 regular season finale. He reaggravated the injury in September, returned for two games, but was then placed on season-ending IR.
The Vikings will reportedly get a 2022 sixth-round pick from Kansas City in exchange for Hughes and a 2022 seventh-round pick.
Hughes, 24, was an effective slot cornerback when healthy, deflecting a career-high nine passes while appearing in 14 games in 2019.
