Wide receiver Justin Jefferson, the Vikings' top pick in the 2020 draft, was cleared to begin training camp on Tuesday after he was removed from the team's COVID-19 reserve list. The rest of the team's roster moves, however, dealt another blow to their defensive line.
The Vikings placed defensive tackle Armon Watts on the COVID-19 reserve list, and announced P.J. Hall — the defensive tackle they'd acquired in a trade Monday — failed his physical, meaning he will head back to the Raiders. Minnesota will recoup the conditional seventh-round pick it had dealt in exchange for Hall to the Raiders, who had intended to cut him before the trade.
