The Minnesota Vikings have made a move with their personnel on Friday. They announced that they have parted ways with Head Athletic Trainer Uriah Myrie.
The Vikings’ statement was shared by multiple sources on Twitter Friday afternoon.
“The Minnesota Vikings have parted ways with Head Athletic Trainer Uriah Myrie. We appreciate Uriah’s commitment and contributions to the organization and to Vikings players over the past two years. We wish him personal and professional success in the future.”
The Vikings brought in Myrie to replace longstanding head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman. He spent two years with the team before the organization decided to make changes.
Back in March of 2023, Myrie was one of two Vikings trainers fined for practicing without a license in the state of Minnesota. ESPN’s Kevin Seifert did say that letting him go “isn’t a response to 2023 injuries.”
The Vikings did retain VP of Player Health and Performance Tyler Williams, who will likely be the one leading the charge for a new Head Trainer in the coming weeks.
