Pinkston agrees to terms with the Vikings

The Vikings have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with veteran receiver Todd Pinkston, according to a person close to the situation.
The Vikings apparently were pleased with Pinkston after they put the veteran receiver through a physical, and he provides more experience for a unit ravaged by departures this year, from Nate Burleson, to Koren Robinson, and even undrafted rookie Hank Baskett.
It is unclear what the Vikings corresponding move will be. But an action might not be necessary until Saturday, when Pinkston could officially sign the deal. By the afternoon, the Vikings must pare their roster from 75 to 53 players.
Brad Childress confirmed his interest in Pinkston, who played for the Vikings coach when he was the offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles. After drafting him in the second round in 2000, the Eagles cut him Thursday after trading for veteran Donte' Stallworth.
Pinkston was hobbled in training camp with a torn Achilles, which sidelined him the entire 2005 season. But the Vikings apparently aren't concerned with the injury.
Terms of his deal were not immediately available.
Pinkston started 62 games in six seasons with the Eagles and also appeared in 12 playoff games.
