MANKATO, Minn. -- Linebacker Casey Matthews signed a one-year deal last spring with the Vikings. The one year won't include any game action.
The Vikings, who opened training camp Sunday at Minnesota State Mankato, placed Matthews on the season-ending reserve/injured list with a hip injury. Matthews had designs on winning the starting job at middle linebacker when he signed for a $745,000 base salary.
Minnesota also placed cornerback Josh Robinson (torn pectoral muscle) on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list and defensive tackle Shamar Stephen (knee) and wide receiver DaVaris Daniels (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list.
