Still looking

According to the league's personnel log, the Vikings worked out former Kansas State receiver Quincy Morgan along with linebacker Marquis Cooper on Tuesday. Of course, the Vikings signed Cooper. But the fact that Morgan worked out is telling. Not only is Morgan a receiver with 52 career starts, including 17 career receiving touchdowns, he also is a pretty solid kickoff returner.
Morgan returned 23 kickoffs last year for 583 yards, an average of 25.3 yards. But Morgan had two returns of 40 or more yards, including a 74-yarder.
Morgan also could provide some depth at receiver since he had 56 catches for 964 yards and seven touchdowns in 2002 for the Cleveland Browns.

In the meantime, Troy Williamson is listed as the top kickoff returner, with Mewelde Moore and Ciatrick Fason listed behind him.
Moore is the No. 1 punt returner, with Travis Taylor and Darren Sharper behind him.
Other interesting notes on the Vikings' depth chart:
* Tarvaris Jackson and Brooks Bollinger are listed as co-No. 2s at backup quarterback, although Jackson is listed first.
* Williamson is the No. 1 receiver, with Todd Pinkston behind him, and Billy McMullen No. 3.
At the other spot, Travis Taylor is backed up by Marcus Robinson.
* Moore has apparently moved ahead of Ciatrick Fason, despite missing much of the preseason.
