The Vikings are planning to sign former Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin to the 53-man roster on Wednesday, according to a league source. Minnesota will waive receiver Jalen Reagor, according to ESPN, freeing up a spot for Gaskin.
Gaskin, 26, was released by Miami on Tuesday after four seasons. He was a seventh-round pick in 2019 when Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores was the Dolphins head coach.
He'll add to a thin Vikings backfield behind starter Alexander Mattison. Second-year running back Ty Chandler seemingly won the backup job by default as Kene Nwangwu missed the preseason with an undisclosed injury, and seventh-round pick DeWayne McBride showed he needed more time to develop.
