This comes one day after the Vikings placed C Garrett Bradbury on the COVID-19 list, so there’s some cause for concern for Minnesota’s offensive line.
Dozier, 29, is a former fourth-round pick of the Jets back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2,520,584 contract with the Jets before returning to New York on a one-year restricted deal worth $1.907 million.
Dozier later signed on with the Vikings in 2019 and returned to Minnesota last year on another one-year contract.
He was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent this offseason before re-signing with Minnesota. The Vikings released him coming out of the preseason but added him to their active roster after clearing waivers.
