Sources: Vikings re-sign Treadwell for WR depth

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings are re-signing wide receiver Laquon Treadwell four weeks after parting ways with the former first-round pick, league sources tell ESPN.

Treadwell, 24, was among the 37 cuts Minnesota made upon finalizing the 53-man roster at the end of August.

The move reflects concerns the Vikings have over their wide receiver depth after Chad Beebe sustained an ankle injury in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Oakland Raiders and Josh Doctson was placed on injured reserve early in the season.

Those injuries had Minnesota down to three healthy receivers between Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs and Olabisi Johnson.
