According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Minnesota Vikings have released running back Myles Gaskin. Gaskin was with the Vikings for a total of 10 days, as the Vikings signed him on August 30th.
With Kene Nwangwu going on injured reserve, they brought in Gaskin to be the third running back while he is out for at least the first four weeks.
According to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, this looks to be a procedural move. Gaskin will be added to the practice squad. He will be elevated for the game on Sunday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
By making this move, it prevents Gaskin’s salary from becoming guaranteed for the 2023 season. Elevating him from the practice squad won’t guarantee his salary.
What does this mean for the open roster spot? It could be filled with a veteran on the free agent market or a permanent elevation coming from the practice. Perhaps Joejuan Williams?
