The first-year defensive end from Penn State signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent on April 30, 2018 and spent the entire 2018 offseason and training camp with the club. Cothran was added to the 2018 team's practice squad after final cuts and remained there for the first seven weeks of the season before being released on October 24, 2018 and signed back to the practice squad on October 27, 2018.
