  • Vikings' Kenny Willekes: Re-signs with Minnesota

    Willekes (undisclosed) re-signed with Minnesota on Wednesday.

    Willekes spent the entire 2022 campaign on IR due to an undisclosed injury, but he appears to be healthy after agreeing to re-sign with Minnesota. The 2020 seventh-round pick has appeared in only six NFL contests -- all coming in 2021 -- and totaled 18 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one pass defense across 194 defensive snaps during those matchups.

    Willekes cleared waivers and reverted to the Vikings' injured reserve list Friday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    The 2020 seventh-rounder from Michigan State is not necessarily a highly coveted asset, but now that he's on IR his season may be over before it even begins due to an undisclosed injury, barring him getting waived with an injury settlement at some point.
