The Minnesota Vikings signed tight end Hale Hentges from the Indianapolis Colts practice squad on Wednesday.
While it hasn’t been made official, the transaction wire from Wednesday says that Hentges terminated his practice squad contract with the Colts. This suggests he’s heading to the active roster in Minnesota.
The Colts have all three of their tight ends healthy and on the active roster right now but Hentges has been a favorite since he signed with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2019.
The Colts also saw defensive end Cassius Marsh sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers from the practice squad so they now have two extra spots open.
With the Vikings dealing with some tight end injuries, Hentges will be heading to their active roster with a chance to carve out a role.
