With Holton Hill suspended for the first eight games of the season, following violations of both the league’s performance-enhancing drugs and substance abuse policies, the Vikings need secondary help. They spent some time Wednesday looking into a veteran that could provide some assistance.
A NFL source confirmed the team worked out veteran defensive back Orlando Scandrick on Wednesday, a day after the league announced Hill’s second suspension. Scandrick, who spent the first 10 years of his career with the Cowboys, started seven games for the Chiefs last year following his release from the Redskins. He has nine interceptions, 11 1/2 sacks and 76 pass breakups over the course of his career.
