After the moves they made yesterday, the Minnesota Vikings had a couple of spots open on their 90-man roster, and they filled those spots on Wednesday morning with a pair of new defenders.
The team has announced the signings of outside linebacker Cam Gill and linebacker Max Tooley.
This is Tooley’s second stint with the Vikings. He went undrafted out of BYU in the 2024 NFL Draft and signed as an undrafted free agent with the Houston Texans. He was waived after training camp and signed with their practice squad, but was waived again a few weeks later. The Vikings then signed him to their practice squad, though the team brought him back on a futures contract, they waived him again in late July before bringing him back today.
Gill has been in the league for a few years. He played his college football at Wagner, garnering Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors in both 2018 and 2019. He went undrafted in the 2020 NFL Draft, and signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He made the Bucs’ roster out of training camp and over the course of four seasons in Tampa played in 40 games, mostly on special teams. He missed the entire 2022 season after suffering a Lisfranc injury in the preseason.
In 2024, Gill signed with the Carolina Panthers, but was again placed on injured reserve and released a few weeks later. He then signed with the Detroit Lions’ practice squad, but in mid-October the Panthers signed him back, and he appeared in 10 games for the Panthers last season.
For his career, Gill has a combined 51 tackles and 2.5 quarterback sacks.
Those are your roster moves for this Wednesday, ladies and gentlemen. Perhaps not earth-shattering moves, but moves that teams will make throughout the course of the preseason.
