Vikings Place DE Scott Crichton On Season-Ending I.R. & Promote DE Zach Moore

The Minnesota Vikings announced Saturday that theyโ€™ve placed DE Scott Crichton on season-ending injured reserve and promoted DE Zach Moore to their active roster.

Crichton, 24, was taken in the third round of last yearโ€™s NFL draft by the Vikings. Heโ€™s in the second year of his  four-year, $3,020,500 rookie contract that included a $656,324 signing bonus.

Crichton will make base salaries of $541,426 (2015), $633,750 (2016), and $769,000 (2017) over the remainder of the agreement.

In 2015, Crichton appeared in 13 games for the Vikings and recorded eight tackles.

Moore, 25, is a former sixth-round pick of the Patriots back in May of last year. He lasted just over a year in New England before he was at the start of the season and later signed to the Vikingsโ€™ practice squad.

In 2014, Moore appeared in eight games and recorded four tackles, a half sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
