Fields was just designated to return from injured reserve by Minnesota.
Fields, 24, wound up going undrafted out of Clemson back in April. He later agreed to a three-year, $1.755 million contract with the Chiefs.
Kansas City traded Fields to the Vikings coming out of the preseason for a 2021 seventh-round pick. However, Minnesota elected to waive him and he’s been on and off of their roster.
In 2020, Fields has appeared in two games for the Vikings and recorded one tackle.
During his four-year college career at Clemson, Field recorded 39 tackles, one sack, an interception, a defensive touchdown and 11 pass defenses over the course of 27 games.
