Vikings elevate Kenny Willekes to 53-man roster, make several practice squad moves

Ahead of their departure for Sunday afternoon’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, the Minnesota Vikings have made a few roster moves.

For the second week in a row, the team has elevated defensive end Kenny Willekes to the 53-man roster, designating him as a COVID-19 replacement. That designation means that this elevation does not count as one of the two “standard” elevations that a practice squad player can have during the course of the year, so the Vikings will be able to elevate him one more time if necessary.

The team has also added two offensive linemen to the practice squad in centers Cohl Cabral and Spencer Pulley.
