Vikings planning to sign tight end Shaun Beyer ahead of training camp

The Vikings roster is maxed out again at 90 players a day before the entire team is scheduled to report for training camp on Tuesday.

Former Iowa tight end Shaun Beyer is expected to sign with the Vikings soon, according to a league source, filling the roster spot created by the recent release of quarterback Nate Stanley, Beyer's college teammate. Beyer gives Vikings coaches another camp option at tight end with the depth chart's top two players — Irv Smith Jr. and Johnny Mundt — easing back from knee surgeries last year.

Smith and Mundt were among the 31 players who reported early with rookies, quarterbacks and other injured players on Sunday.
