As they prepare for Sunday’s NFC North clash with the Detroit Lions at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Minnesota Vikings have made a handful of roster moves to round out the roster.
The team has announced that they have elevated cornerback Tye Smith from the practice squad for Sunday’s game. In addition, they have also elevated guard Dakota Dozier and cornerback Parry Nickerson as COVID-19 replacements. Lastly, they waived receiver Dan Chisena, who was activated from injured reserve on Wednesday.
Both Dozier and Nickerson had used their two standard elevations to the roster over the past two weeks, but they are allowed to be elevated once more because they have been designated as COVID-19 replacements.
