The Minnesota Vikings swapped out offensive tackles on their practice squad.
In: Marcellus Johnson
Out: Ricky Lee III
Marcellus Johnson played at Eastern Michigan from 2018-22. He finished his collegiate career at Missouri in 2023. As an undrafted free agent, Johnson originally signed with the New York Giants after the 2024 NFL Draft. After roster cutdowns, Johnson signed to the Giants practice squad. He released last week.
Ricky Lee III signed to the Vikings practice squad on August 29. He and running back Zavier Scott were the only practice squad members that didn’t go through training camp with the Vikings.
NFL practice squads are typically more fluid than the 53-man roster. These player swaps are frequent and can be easily missed on the league transaction page. Here’s the Vikings current practice squad.

The Vikings have elevated practice squad players to the active roster for each of this season’s games.
Week 1:
Myles Gaskin, RB
Bobby McCain, DB
Week 2:

The expanded practice squad and game day elevations are carryovers from the 2020 COVID-impacted season. They have proven to be welcome changes.
