Doesn't sounds like folks in Baltimore are all that high on Maxx. :(
 


Vikings' Fruechte keeps battling for active-roster spot

Fruechte, a Caledonia native, had a topsy-turvy September. He was waived by the Vikings on Sept. 3 when they cut to 53 players, signed with the Detroit Lions, was waived after three weeks, and re-signed with Minnesota on Sept. 27.

He won't be in action today when the Vikings host the 3-1 Houston Texans at U.S. Bank Stadium, as he's still chasing that elusive active-roster spot.

“We just felt like it was a good opportunity for me to go and play in Detroit, and it was no hard feelings toward Minnesota or anything,” said Fruechte, who spent 2015 on the Vikings’ practice squad. “I would say I learned a lot from being in Detroit, even though it was a short-lived experience. I felt like I did everything I could to prove that I could play, but in this business it sometimes just doesn’t work out.”

Fruechte re-joined the Vikings knowing it will be a challenge to make the active roster. He’s fine with that, too.

De'Vondre also came back from injury and had 3 tackles. Ra'Shede also blocked another extra point, the 4th of his career.

Saw Ra'Shede's block and I believe it won the game for the Falcons. Very cool.

How much playing time is our guy, Damien Wilson, getting? Really enjoyed watching him play here.

Falcons lost 26-24. Still cool though.

Wilson has seen pretty limited action with the Cowboys. He has seven tackles on the year through six games.
 



Wilson has been primarily playing on special teams but he was getting regular snaps at LB against GB yesterday, at least in the first half.

I'm not sure how much he has been active this year. His 3 catches yesterday were his first 3 of the season.

Grey has apparently taken that NFL role of the guy who can't seem to breakthrough... but also can't seem to go unemployed.

As far as injuries and body damage, that seems like a great gig.
 



Vikings signed Cedric Thompson this afternoon.

PiPress: Vikings release former Gophers safety Cedric Thompson from practice squad

The Vikings took a one-month look at safety Cedric Thompson and evidently weren’t impressed.

The Vikings released the former University of Minnesota player from the practice squad Saturday after signing him Oct. 25. A corresponding move was not made, and there is one spot open on the 10-man squad.
