The Vikings shuffled offensive line depth Thursday as center Brett Jones’ knee injury was deemed season ending.
Jones was placed on injured reserve, replaced on the active roster by tackle Aviante Collins’ promotion from the practice squad.
Collins, 26, has had his NFL career derailed by injuries so far, spending last year on injured reserve due to torn biceps and missing this preseason due to a leg injury in training camp. But when healthy, he’s promising and versatile having played guard and tackle.
Two re-signings filled out the Vikings practice squad in receiver Davion Davis and center John Keenoy.
