Vikings sign Drew Henson
The Vikings signed former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Drew Henson to the practice squad.
To make room for him, the Vikings cut offensive guard C.J. Brooks.
With rookie quarterback Tarvaris Jackson sidelined at least a few weeks, Vikings head coach Brad Childress wants to prevent Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger from taking too many snaps in practice.
Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Stephan LeFors worked out Tuesday for the Vikings.
According to a report today in the Miami Herald, Henson also worked out for the Miami Dolphins Tuesday.
Henson left football in 2001 and accepted a contract with the New York Yankees. But his baseball career never took off, and he returned to football, even starting one game for the Cowboys in 2004.
He was released by the Cowboys in August, however.

Well, perhaps they'll keep him warmed up in case the Twins need him in their pitching rotation. If Red still owned the team, he'd have asked Pohlad to cover half the contract.
Critic, that's a good one.
PM, I think he could stick on the practice squad, if he does well. You don't get rid of talent. This is like an extended tryout for Henson, like during training camp.
