Vikings sign LB Tanner Vallejo, waive LB William Kwenkeu

The Minnesota Vikings made a bottom-of-the-roster move at the linebacker position on Sunday afternoon.

The team has announced the signing of linebacker Tanner Vallejo, and they have also announced that they have waived linebacker William Kwenkeu with an injury designation. Should Kwenkeu pass through waivers, he will go on the Vikings’ injured reserve list.

Kwenkeu suffered an injury in the Vikings’ preseason-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He started last season on the practice squad and eventually worked his way up to being a special teams contributor on the main roster.

Vallejo is a bit of a journeyman, to say the least.
