The Minnesota Vikings signed cornerback Stephon Gilmore and wide receiver Justin Hall while waiving punter Seth Vernon and wide receiver Ty James. We have discussed the Gilmore signing after it broke early Sunday morning but the news of Hall signing is new to the team and fans.
Hall entered the NFL in 2022 after a college career at Ball State, where he averaged 10.6 yards per reception and had 17 touchdowns. He went undrafted but signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. He never appeared in a regular-season game for the team but signed with the Houston Roughnecks of the UFL, where he found success in one season with the team.
In corresponding moves, the team released punter Seth Vernon, who was competing for the starting job opposite Ryan Wright, and wide receiver Ty James.
Hall enters a loaded and competitive wide receiver room where he will have to fight for a roster spot with just one game left in the preseason. Meanwhile, the punting competition is now over, and Wright is seemingly awarded the job.
