Yesterday, the Minnesota Vikings waived rookie running back Roc Thomas in order to make room for Ameer Abdullah on the 53-man roster. Apparently, Thomas didn’t have to spend a lot of time clearing out his locker.
After going unclaimed on waivers, the Vikings have announced that they have signed Thomas to the practice squad. To make room for him there, they waived guard Landon Turner, who was just signed last week.
The Vikings didn’t have a running back on the practice squad prior to today, as they had kept both Thomas and Mike Boone on the 53-man roster since the final cutdowns were made back in early September.
