Vikings' trade for defensive tackle P.J. Hall is off

Wide receiver Justin Jefferson, the Vikings' top pick in the 2020 draft, was cleared to begin training camp on Tuesday after he was removed from the team's COVID-19 reserve list. The rest of the team's roster moves, however, dealt another blow to their defensive line.

The Vikings placed defensive tackle Armon Watts on the COVID-19 reserve list, and announced P.J. Hall — the defensive tackle they'd acquired in a trade Monday — failed his physical, meaning he will head back to the Raiders. Minnesota will recoup the conditional seventh-round pick it had dealt in exchange for Hall to the Raiders, who had intended to cut him before the trade.
