Twenty-four hours after the “final” roster cuts are made, any players who were claimed off the waiver wire join their new teams and players not claimed are eligible to be signed to a team’s 10-man practice squad. There were a couple of surprises, as the Green Bay Packers put in a waiver claim for running back Jhurell Pressley after his impressive two-touchdown performance in the final preseason game, and wide receiver Isaac Fruechte chose to sign with the Detroit Lions practice squad instead of the Vikings (he pointed out that Detroit only has four receivers on the 53-man roster, while the Vikings have six, and he preferred the odds of eventually getting on the field in Detroit).
Signed to the practice squad today were:
- G Willie Beavers 64
- WR Moritz Böhringer 81
- TE Kyle Carter 86
- G Isame Faciane 69
- S Shamiel Gary (spent preseason with the Miami Dolphins, not yet listed on the Vikings roster page)
- RB C.J. Ham 30
- DT Toby Johnson 90
- CB Tre Roberson 36
- QB Joel Stave 2
- DE Stephen Weatherly 91
