Chadd Cripe (Idaho Statesman) reports former Boise State wide receiver Vinny Perretta has been asked to join the Minnesota Vikings practice squad. Perretta was with the Vikings during training camp, but was released when the team cut their roster down.
The addition of Perretta means the Vikings will need to clear a spot on their practice squad. No announcements have been made, so we will update this post as soon as we hear something.
Some rumblings on the web suggests receiver Darius Reynaud may have a serious injury, and that the team is calling up one of their practice squad members, with Perretta coming back to take the practice squad spot.
We already posted earlier that Reynaud is fine and that he is expected to play in Monday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
Here is the list of the players currently on the practice squad:
DB Colt Anderson, QB John David Booty, OT Chris Clark, RB Ian Johnson, DT Tremaine Johnson, TE Garrett Mills, WR Nick Moore and C Jon Cooper.
Update: Perretta will replace reciever Nick Moore on the practice squad.
