Former Alabama tight end Hale Hentges has been placed on the Reserve/Retired list by his current NFL team, the Minnesota Vikings.
That news was announced by the team’s Twitter account on Tuesday afternoon. No other details were given in the tweet.

After a successful career with the Crimson Tide, Hentges went undrafted back in 2019. He landed with the Indianapolis Colts and had a solid start to his career. Unfortunately, that didn’t last and he was waived.
The Washington Football Team snagged him off waivers (of course they did, they love former Alabama players) and spent some time on the practice squad. He then bounced back to Indianapolis before being signed by Minnesota in 2020.
During his time at Alabama from 2015-18, Hentges hauled in only 15 passes for 124 yards. He did add six touchdowns over his last two seasons, however. His teamed up with Irv Smith Jr. to give the offense a nice 1-2 punch at the tight end position.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens next for him.
