MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Minnesota Vikings announced Monday that the team has activated three players from the practice squad to the active roster as COVID-19 replacements.
Safety Myles Dorn, receiver Myron Mitchell and cornerback Tye Smith were elevated hours before the team’s game against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.
It will be Mitchell’s NFL debut. Dorn and Smith have some experience on special teams this year.
The Vikings currently have receiver/punt returner Dede Westbrook and receiver/special teamer Dan Chisena on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Starting wide receiver Adam Thielen is also listed as questionable.
