Tight end Josiah Price is returning to the Vikings after signing as an undrafted free agent a year ago out of Michigan State, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.
The Vikings needed more bodies at tight end with only Kyle Rudolph, David Morgan and Blake Bell on the roster. It’s a one-year deal for Price, according to his agent Mike McCartney.
The Vikings also added a long snapper they list at 6-foot-8 and 280 pounds in Nick Dooley, who went undrafted two years ago out of UTEP. Dooley is an additional snapper as Kevin McDermott, the incumbent starter, returns from a dislocated shoulder suffered in late December.
The Vikings released Shaan Washington, the undrafted Texas A&M linebacker, on Wednesday. Washington had been placed on injured reserve in August with a season-ending leg injury.
