Vikings Elevate Myles Gaskin, Bobby McCain Ahead of Season Opener

With the season opener against the New York Giants looming less than 24 hours away, the Minnesota Vikings have made a couple of final roster moves to shore things up before kickoff.

The Vikings have announced that they have elevated running back Myles Gaskin and defensive back Bobby McCain from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s contest.

With the Vikings only having two running backs on the 53-man roster in Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler, Gaskin could get some opportunities to make an impact on Sunday. There’s a chance he could also see some time as the team’s kick returner, though Chandler is currently penciled into that spot.
