The Minnesota Vikings find themselves in yet another undesirable kicking situation this year. After using a fifth-round pick in 2018 to select Daniel Carlson, and then to only waive him after two games, the Vikings acquired kicker/punter Kaare Vedvik from the Baltimore Ravens last week for a 2020 fifth-round draft pick.
Vedvik, an undrafted free agent from Marshall, signed with Baltimore in 2018 but wound up on the reserve/non-injury list after he was assaulted in public prior to the regular season.
With kicker Dan Bailey struggling during this year’s training camp and punter Matt Wile unable to hold for kicks because of a thumb injury, it’s anyone’s guess as to what role Vedvik will end up with on the Vikings’ 2019 roster.
