Vikings Sign Reggie Jones To Practice Squad

by Eric J. Thompson on Nov 9, 2011 2:49 PM CST in News

Are you guys ready for some largely inconsequential Vikings roster move news? Because here comes some largely inconsequential Vikings roster move news.

Yesterday, the Washington Redskins signed Vikings practice squad defensive back Domonique Johnson to their 53-man roster, meaning the Vikes had room to add someone new to their practice squad. They did so today by adding another defensive back, Reggie Jones. Jones is in his second year out of Portland State and has yet to take the field in an NFL game in his career.

See, I told you the news was largely inconsequential! The fact that Jones hasn't played in an NFL game probably won't change in 2011 with the Vikings, but he has an interesting back story of overcoming an awful event from his childhood to make it to the NFL. Read the Washington Post story from August about Jones here.

Well, now you know. Resume your Wednesdays accordingly, and stay tuned for more about the upcoming Monday Night Football showdown with that team from the East.

the funny thing is...

…you really don’t have to be kidding…

i wanna know when BBurton will see the field. Asher has had far too many chances and blown them all. Ced is hurting. Cook is out. etc etc.

i’m not saying Burton should start, by any means… but personally, i’d like to know what we have in him.

of course, now Winfield is back, so Burton is pushed even further down the chart.

Why do people hate Asher

considering he’s our dime back I thought he did a great job against Steve Smith 2 weeks ago. I think he’s a pretty good nickle back.

let me count the ways...

a) he gets burned on a consistent basis.
b) he is a poor tackler.
c) he does not break up pass plays.
d) he is seldom in the right place to make a play.
e) and when he is in the right place, [see b and c].
