A football roster is always in the process of being adjusted. However, the degree of roster change in late August and early September is particularly notable. Things are no different in Minnesota.
Yesterday, the Vikings snagged a pair of newcomers. Consider what the team's official social media had to say: "The #Vikings have signed TE Cam Grandy and DL Naquan Jones to the practice squad. TE Marshall Lang has been released from the practice squad."
Note that Minnesota went into these decisions with an open spot on the practice squad. As a result, going +2 with new players alongside just a -1 made the math work.
In Cam Grandy, the Vikings are welcoming a tight end who boasts good size. He's a sturdy 6'5″ and 253 pounds (but a spot like PFF lists him as being a touch larger, coming in at 260 on there). For comparison, T.J. Hockenson is listed as being 6'5″ and 248 pounds. Josh Oliver, meanwhile, is a hulking 6'5″ and 264 pounds.
