Minnesota has also signed defensive lineman Hercules Mata’afa to the active roster from its practice squad and cornerback Dylan Mabin from the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad.
Mata’afa is in his third season with the Vikings and has three tackles this season. Mabin joined the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and spent most of the season on their practice squad. The 6-foot-1 Mabin played eight special teams snaps in the Raiders’ Week 7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
