Vikings new running back Myles Gaskin has bumpy ride to Minnesota

Hurricane Idalia threatened new Vikings running back Myles Gaskin's chance of getting from Florida to his first practice in Eagan on Thursday.

But Gaskin, the former Dolphins back, had only a two-hour delay for his trip to Minnesota on Wednesday night. The flight through the storm created more anxiety.

"I'm terrified of flying, so that wind and turbulence had me stressed out, sweating like crazy next to a stranger," Gaskin said after Thursday's practice. "Yeah, I'm glad I made it."

After getting released by the Dolphins on Tuesday, Gaskin jumped at his first opportunity elsewhere when the Vikings called.
