Bethel Johnson signed

The Vikings signed receiver Bethel Johnson and released second-year receiver Maurice Mann to make room for him.
Johnson worked out for the Vikings a week ago, at Winter Park.
Johnson, a four-year veteran, was a second-round pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, by the New England Patriots.
The Vikings also cut quarterback Drew Henson from the practice squad.
Johnson was traded during the 2006 offseason for defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan.
Johnson will fill an immediate role as a return specialist. He had 102 kickoffs for 2,557 yards
(25.1 average), including two for touchdowns.
