Vikings sign cornerback Natrone Brooks to practice squad
The Minnesota Vikings signed cornerback Natrone Brooks to their practice squad, the team announced Oct. 1. The move strengthens the team’s depth at cornerback. Brooks joins a practice squad that saw multiple additions on Sept. 30 as the Vikings managed early-season roster needs.
The move came amid continued roster adjustment following the first month of the regular season. In recent days the Vikings added multiple players to the practice squad on Sept. 30, including running backs Audric Estime and Devin Neal, punter Johnny Hekker, outside linebacker Keshawn Banks and guard Josh Priebe. The team also elevated players from the practice squad and made changes to the active roster and injured reserve on Sept. 29.
