The Vikings raise Nate Meadors to his squad and engage Alexander Hollins in training

When the Minnesota Vikings placed wide receiver Josh Doctson in the injured reserve on Thursday with a leg injury, he left four wide receivers on the 53-man line-up. After the team moved to occupy the place of Doctson. . .they again have only four wide receivers.

To occupy Doctson's position in the lineup, the Vikings raised the Nate Meadors cornerback of the Active Alignment Training Team.

Meadors made a great first impression of the Vikings in the pre-season after picking up a six-game lead in the pre-season opener against the New Orleans Saints. However, he did not leave the training camp and had to settle for a place on the training team. While the Vikings had been injured by both Mackensie Alexander (elbow) and Mark Fields (groin), they had apparently decided that they needed more depth at the corner than the catcher.

This means that the big receivers on the Vikings list are Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Chad Beebe and Bisi Johnson. That's what they did in the first week and it looks like that's how they'll go to Lambeau Field too.

To occupy the place of the training team released by Meadors, the Vikings brought in another wide receiver, bringing Alexander Hollins back to the training squad. Hollins played parsimoniously for the Vikings during the pre-season, holding only two receptions.

With the signing of Hollins, the Vikings now have three wide receivers on their ten-player training team, Hollins joining Davion Davis and Dillon Mitchell.
