The Minnesota Vikings have rotated players in the backup positions of guard and center. On Friday, they made another shakeup of players at those positions.
The Minnesota Vikings signed Coy Cronk to their practice squad and placed Henry Byrd on the practice squad-injured in a corresponding move.
Cronk, who is 26, entered the league in 2021 after going undrafted out of Iowa. He initially signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he would make his way to the Minnesota Vikings last November. He never played a game for the Vikings, but he was listed as the backup left tackle behind Christian Darrisaw.
He played in three games in his career with the Jaguars despite never playing with the Vikings. During his tenures with both teams, he bounced back and forth between the active roster and the practice squad.
Cronk was with the Vikings earlier in the year but was released in April ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft with a non-injury designation.
