Plugging holes
The Vikings immediately addressed their two most glaring positions of weakness. The club announced today the signing of DB Rashad Baker, who spent
2004 and 2005 with Buffalo, and RB RB Artose Pinner, who was released Saturday by the Detroit Lions.
A former fourth-round pick of the Lions, Pinner has five career rushing touchdowns, including two against the Vikings.
The signing of both players provides some needed veteran depth at key positions. To make room, the Vikings cut two undrafted rookies, WR Jason Carter and RB Wendell Mathis.
If they clear waivers, they would likely be added to the practice squad. A club can carry up to eight players on their practice squad.
The players added to the practice squad Sunday are:
TE Richard Angulo
CB Charles Gordon
WR Martin Nance
OT Donald Penn
DE Khreem Smith

Nance is a solid player, and his size definitely is impressive.
