The Vikings are coming out of one of their defenses.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Minnesota has released cornerback Joejuan Williams.
Williams, 26, was in his second stint with the Vikings. He initially signed with the club last April before being released during roster cuts at the start of the regular season. While he was on Minnesota’s practice squad for a few weeks, he signed with Chicago’s 53-man roster and played in four games for the club.
But once the Bears waived him, he re-signed with Minnesota’s practice squad and signed a futures contract with the team once the season ended.
The Patriots selected Williams in the second round of the 2019 draft. He played in 36 games, starting for New England his first four years, missing the entire 2022 season due to injury.
