The Minnesota Vikings officially waived FB Johnny Stanton from injured reserve on Friday.
Stanton, 24, wound up signing on with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of UNLV back in May of last year. He agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract with Minnesota, but was waived with an injury designation during the preseason.
Stanton later reverted to the team’s injured reserve after clearing waivers.
During his college career at UNLV, Stanton played quarterback and threw for 1,406 yards while completing 54.1 percent of his passes to go along with 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions over the course of two seasons. He also rushed for 327 yards and three touchdowns.
