The tight end position has been an important one for the Minnesota Vikings throughout the Mike Zimmer era, but the team has been dealing with injuries at the position this season. In order to attempt to mitigate that, they have added another veteran player at the position.
The Vikings have signed tight end Luke Stocker to their practice squad. In order to make room on the practice squad for him, the team waived offensive lineman Zack Bailey.
Stocker has been in the league for a decade, having been drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of the University of Tennessee.
