Minnesota Vikings lose Chase Ford, sign Dominique Jones

The Minnesota Vikings have said goodbye to a tight end, but they have also said hello to a new one. Chase Ford has departed, but the team has signed fellow tight end Dominique Jones to replace him.

First, Ford has been through the roster ringer in the past week. Last Wednesday, Ford was released from the Vikings active roster after the team activated cornerback Josh Robinson from the Physically Unable to Perform list. Two days later, Ford was back on the Vikings but this time as a member of the Purple’s practice squad. On Tuesday, the Baltimore Ravens signed Ford off of the Vikings practice squad and onto their active roster.

In response, the Vikings signed Jones to the practice squad. According to 1500ESPN, Jones was on the Denver Broncos this offseason, but didn’t make the final cut. He’s since been on the practice squads of the Ravens and the New York Giants and was most recently dismissed from the Giants’ practice squad last month.
