The Vikings on Tuesday announced they have signed long snapper Jeff Overbaugh to the active roster.
Overbaugh was signed after Vikings long snapper Kevin McDermott suffered a shoulder injury just before halftime at Green Bay Saturday night. McDermott was optimistic about rehabbing the injury.
Also announced as a corresponding move was that Vikings guard Nick Easton has been placed on Injured Reserve after fracturing his ankle against the Packers.
After appearing in all 53 games – and going a perfect 409-for-409 on snap attempts – at San Diego State, Overbaugh entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2016 and spent the 2016 training camp with the Los Angeles Rams.
