Vikings open backfield roster spot with Deejay Dallas release
Minnesota released Dallas on Friday while Jordan Mason remains questionable for Sunday’s Colts game
The Minnesota Vikings released running back Deejay Dallas on Friday, freeing an active-roster spot while Jordan Mason approaches a possible return from injured reserve.
Mason is questionable for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts after a full week of practice. Dallas' release creates room for an activation; it does not mean Mason has already been added to the active roster or cleared to play.
Dallas played in five games for Minnesota this season. His departure changes the running back roster ahead of the Colts matchup but points to Mason playing this week.
