EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings on Wednesday announced 12 players have signed to the team's practice squad.

Teams are allowed to sign up to 16 players on their practice squads.

The following players joined Minnesota's practice squad as exceptions:

Safety Myles Dorn

Chisena has appeared in 25 games, mostly on special teams, since joining Minnesota as an undrafted free agent in 2020.

Dorn also joined Minnesota as an undrafted free agent in 2020. After missing all of his rookie season with an injury, he appeared in nine games.
