The kicking battle in Minnesota Vikings training camp is over before it ever really began.
The team has announced that they have signed running back Aaron Dykes in their quest to, apparently, add as many running backs as possible before cutdown day. In order to make room for Dykes on the roster, the team has waived undrafted rookie free agent kicker Jack Podlesny.
Dykes played his college ball at the University of Richmond and put up 1,980 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on 470 carries. He also added 77 catches for 750 yards and an additional eight touchdowns.
