Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Signed to active roster by Minnesota
Dallas was signed to the Vikings' active roster Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.
Dallas will return to the active roster after playing in the first five contests of the year with the Vikings before being released and ultimately returning to the team as a member of the practice squad in late October. The running back has rushed four times for 14 yards and caught all four of his targets for 34 yards over seven contests with Minnesota this year, and he figures to operate in an extreme depth role behind Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason on Monday night versus Buffalo.

DeeJay Dallas: Reverts to Minnesota's practice squad
Dallas reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Dallas carried the ball one time for four yards over 17 offensive snaps in Sunday's game against the Lions. The running back also participated in 17 snaps for the special teams unit. Dallas has one elevation to the active roster remaining before the Vikings will be forced to re-sign the 28-year-old to the 53-man roster to get any more snaps out of him.

Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Elevated for Week 8
The Vikings elevated Dallas from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
The Vikings' backfield for Sunday's game against the Lions will be co-led by Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason, but the elevation of Dallas indicates that rookie sixth-rounder Demond Claiborne could be a healthy scratch for Week 8. Dallas played 19 snaps (six on offense, 13 on special teams) in Week 7 against the Colts but didn't show up on the box score otherwise.

DeeJay Dallas: Returns to practice squad
Dallas reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Dallas was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts, but he didn't record any stats while playing six snaps on offense and 13 snaps with the special-teams unit. Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones (knee) handled all the touches in the backfield in the victory. The running back is eligible to be elevated two more times before Minnesota would have to sign him to the active roster.

Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Inked to practice squad, elevated for Week 7
The Vikings signed Dallas to the practice squad and elevated him to the active roster Saturday.
Dallas was released by the Vikings on Friday due to the impending return of Jordan Mason (thumb) from injured reserve. Dallas has opted to remain with Minnesota as the member of the practice squad, and he'll be on the 53-man roster for Sunday's game against the Colts, when he'll serve as the RB4 behind Mason, Aaron Jones and Demond Claiborne.

DeeJay Dallas: Let go by Minnesota
The Vikings released Dallas on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The decision to let Dallas go indicates that the Vikings are likely to activate Jordan Mason (thumb, questionable) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts. Dallas saw little work offensively while with Minnesota, but now that he's on the open market, he should garner interest from teams looking to add backfield depth.

Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Clear for Week 3
Dallas (toe) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay.
Dallas kicked off Week 3 prep with back-to-back limited sessions due to a toe injury, but his ability to handle every on-field rep Friday clears him to be available to the Vikings backfield this weekend. With Aaron Jones (knee) also gaining clearance to play Sunday, Dallas likely will remain relegated to a small workload, as the latter has just four touches on his 14 offensive snaps through two games on the campaign.

Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Turns in limited practice
Dallas (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
When Minnesota has all of its key backfield options available, Dallas is expected to play exclusively on special teams, but he'll likely be needed to serve as a passing-down or change-of-pace option at the very least during Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, provided the toe issue doesn't keep him from playing. Jordan Mason (thumb) won't be eligible to return from injured reserve until Week 7, and Aaron Jones -- who handled 23 touches and an 81 percent snap share in the Week 2 win over the Bears -- joined Dallas as a limited participant in Thursday's practice. If Jones ends up sitting out Sunday or has his snaps managed more carefully, Dallas could be in store for a more prominent role after he was limited to eight offensive snaps and three touches in Week 2.

Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Limited practice Wednesday
Dallas (toe) was a limited participant at the Vikings' practice Wednesday.
Dallas appears to have picked up a toe injury during the team's 9-3 win over the Bears in Week 2, and as a result, he wasn't able to practice in full to open the week. With Aaron Jones (knee) listed as a non-participant Wednesday, rookie running back Demond Claiborne is the only fully healthy option at the moment. Dallas will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers.

Dallas rushed twice for eight yards and caught his sole target for 12 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.

Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Signed to Vikings' active roster
The Vikings signed Dallas from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
With Jordan Mason (thumb) landing on injured reserve, Dallas will presumably jump into a prominent role behind Aaron Jones. The 2020 No. 144 overall pick has appeared in contests for the Seahawks, Cardinals, Panthers, Jaguars and Vikings during his career. In 84 regular-season games, Dallas accumulated 538 yards and four touchdowns off 124 carries, adding 64 catches for 407 yards and two touchdowns.

DeeJay Dallas: Reverts to Minnesota's practice squad
Dallas reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Dallas played just six offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Packers. The running back made a larger impact on special teams, logging one tackle on kick coverage over 14 special-teams snaps. Dallas can only be elevated two more times, and after that point he may only play for the Vikings if he is signed to the active roster.

Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Elevated for Sunday
The Vikings elevated Dallas from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Dallas signed with the Vikings on Sept. 2 after being released by the Jaguars during cutdown day. The running back will likely provide a special teams presence in Sunday's game against the Packers with minimal offensive usage.

DeeJay Dallas: Catches on with Minnesota's practice squad
The Vikings signed Dallas to the practice squad Wednesday, Rob Kleifield reports.
The Jaguars released Dallas during Sunday's cut-down day. The running back cleared waivers and has found a new home with the Vikings. Dallas appeared in six games last year, totalling three rush attempts for 21 yards between the Panthers and Jaguars rosters.

Jaguars' DeeJay Dallas: Re-ups with Jags
Jacksonville re-signed Dallas on Monday.
Dallas appeared in six total regular-season games between Carolina and Jacksonville in 2025, in which span he rushed twice for 21 yards and failed to secure his only target. He also logged 12 kickoff returns for 321 yards. Dallas ended the 2025 campaign on the Jaguars' roster but he was made a healthy scratch for the team's sole postseason contest, a wild-card round loss to the Bills. If the Jaguars opt to let Travis Etienne depart as a free agent this offseason, Dallas could find himself competing for an interesting depth role.

Jaguars' DeeJay Dallas: Sitting out playoff opener
Dallas (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills.
Dallas suited up for the Jaguars over the final three games of the regular season and had been a key contributor on special teams, but Jacksonville has opted to make him a healthy scratch for the playoff opener in order to prioritize depth at other positions. Between his stops with Carolina and Jacksonville during the regular season, Dallas played in six total games and carried twice for 21 yards while failing to haul in his lone target. He also brought back 12 kickoffs for 321 yards.

Jaguars' DeeJay Dallas: Efficient in Week 17
Dallas rushed twice for 21 yards and didn't catch his lone target during Sunday's 23-16 win over the Colts. He added two kickoff returns for 62 yards.
Dallas received his first two carries since joining the Jaguars during the Week 17 win, averaging 10.5 yards per rush. The veteran from Miami also contributed on special teams, tallying a team-high 62 kick-return yards. Expect Dallas to remain one of Jacksonville's top kick returners in the Week 18 matchup against the Titans, even if Bhayshul Tuten (finger) returns from injury.
