Vikings place Troy Dye on injured reserve

When the Minnesota Vikings placed linebacker Anthony Barr on injured reserve earlier this week, some people speculated that rookie Troy Dye might be in line to see a bigger role. In this case, “some people” refers to me and. . .well, I think that’s about it, actually.

However, if Dye is going to see a bigger role, that role isn’t going to expand for at least three weeks.

On Thursday, the Vikings placed Dye on injured reserve. Dye suffered a foot injury during Sunday’s loss to Indianapolis but returned to the game.
