More roster moves

The Vikings signed veteran guard Steve Edwards and released rookie defensive end Jayme Mitchell to make room for him.
In addition, WR Jason Carter and RB Wendell Mathis cleared waivers and were added to the practice squad.
Mitchell could join them Tuesday.
Edwards played in 38 games with 24 starts during his four seasons with the Chicago Bears. In 2003, he started all 16 games at left guard.
He is familiar with Vikings coach Brad Childress because he entered the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2002.
Edwards spent part of the 2002 season on the Eagles’ practice squad before being signed to the Bears' active roster in October.
In the meantime, Childress said during his press conference that he was confident in his receiver group. But he did not rule out taking a look at Charles Rogers, the No. 2 pick in the 2003 NFL Draft. Rogers was cut Saturday by the Detroit Lions.
"He is a guy that's been released," Childress said of Rogers. "I have not seen a snap of tape on him from the preseason, but we still have time."
Childress said the team would look to make tweaks on their roster up until the season opener.
