Vikings activate Oli Udoh from COVID-19 list, waive DeMarquis Gates

After leading the league at one point with the most players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the Minnesota Vikings have dropped that number all the way down to zero.

On Thursday, the team announced that they had activated offensive lineman Oli Udoh from the COVID-19 list. In order to make room, the team has waived linebacker DeMarquis Gates.

Udoh spent most of last season being “redshirted,” as he was inactive for nearly every game. He did get a start in the regular season finale against the Chicago Bears and played fairly well.
