Our Vikings take on the Bengals today. They’ll have veterans Sean Mannion and Ameer Abdullah available to them.
Abdullah was the cut I was most surprised about. He’s a versatile RB who can help on special teams. I get that there aren’t many carries available with Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison in town, but he ought to have a role in this offense. He could even help remedy the receiver depth, or lack thereof. Don’t be surprised if he ends up getting some touches on offense.
Bringing Mannion off the practice squad is yet another indication that Kellen Mond simply isn’t ready for NFL snaps yet.
