On Thursday, the Minnesota Vikings made official the signings of running back Myles Gaskin and offensive lineman David Quessenberry. They cleared one spot on the roster by waiving wide receiver Jalen Reagor, and cleared another by making a move that most were probably anticipating.
The team has announced that running back and kick return specialist Kene Nwangwu has been placed on injured reserve. The move means that he will miss at least the first four games of the 2023 season.
Nwangwu was a fourth-round pick of the Vikings in the 2021 NFL Draft and has made his impact on special teams with three kickoff returns for touchdowns in his first two seasons.
