Minor roster move
The Vikings have not yet placed rookie linebacker Chad Greenway on injured reserve. But they filled his spot with the signing of sixth-year linebacker Jason Glenn.
To make room for Glenn, the Vikings released rookie punter John Torp.
Glenn played in all 16 games for the Miami Dolphins in 2005 and finished third on the
team with 13 special-teams tackles. Prior to his time in Miami, he played four seasons for the New York Jets, playing in 71 games. He was a sixth-round pick (173rd overall) by the Detroit Lions out of Texas A&M in 2001.
The Vikings beat out several teams for the services of Torp, a rookie free agent. But incumbent Chris Kluwe has looked sharp in training camp, after having knee surgery in late January.
Torp pinned both of his punts inside the 20-yard line against the Oakland Raiders on Monday night.
