Heading into the final season of his rookie deal, the Minnesota Vikings are not expected to pick up the fifth-year contract option for cornerback Mike Hughes.

During his first-ever regular-season game as a member of the Minnesota Vikings in 2018, Mike Hughes intercepted a pass and took it 28 yards in the other direction for a touchdown.

Hughes continued to experience some success during the next few contests of his rookie campaign with the Vikings. But then the young cornerback, unfortunately, suffered a knee injury midway through the 2018 season that knocked him out for the rest of the year.
