Vikings HC Mike Zimmer announced Friday that they will promote QB Sean Mannion to their active roster ahead of Sunday’s game against the Bengals, per Chris Tomasson.
Mannion, 29, was drafted in the third round by the Rams back in 2015. He played out the final year of his four-year rookie contract and later signed a one-year deal with the Vikings as an unrestricted free agent.
Mannion re-signed on another one-year deal for the 2020 season, but did not appear in a game. He caught on briefly with the Seahawks during camp in 2021 but was cut coming out of the preseason.
The Vikings recently re-signed Mannion to their practice squad.
In 2019, Mannion appeared in three games for the Vikings and completed 12 of 21 pass attempts for 126 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions.
