EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The Vikings announced on Tuesday the signing of free agent linebacker Jason Trusnik to the 53-man roster and placed MLB Audie Cole on the season-ending injured reserve.
Trusnik is very familiar with Vikings Defensive Coordinator George Edwards. He spent three seasons with Edwards and the Miami Dolphins from 2011-14. The linebacker had 32 total tackles for the Dolphins in his last season there.
“Trusnik is an experienced guy. He’s played 10 years in this league, understands how to come in and be a true pro, understands his role, will be able to help us out and back up multiple positions,” Edwards said.
