The Vikings released practice squad guard Isame Faciane after he was charged with three misdemeanors following his arrest on suspicion of DUI during the team's bye week. The Vikings brought back cornerback Tre Roberson to fill the practice squad spot.

Lose an offensive lineman, sign a cornerback...Sounds about right.

On May 21, Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards was arrested, charged with DWI in Carver County, as @christomasson first reported.
Edwards pleaded guilty to misdemeanor careless driving Aug. 30 and was sentenced to one year of probation and a $1,000 fine.



#Vikings cornerback Jabari Price had been charged with DWI and pleaded guilty to careless driving and NFL suspended him for two games.

Diggs back at practice. Floyd, Pruitt only ones listed as DNP

People I've talked to say would be tall order to have Jake Long ready to start at #Vikings left tackle Sunday. I would expect T.J. Clemmings

#Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said Sharrif Floyd is not close to returning to practice (knee)

[dead_poet]

Stefon Diggs and Laquon Treadwell are questionable. Jarius Wright is doubtful. MyCole Pruitt and Sharrif Floyd are out Sunday. #Vikings

Looks like the Vikings were able to sign Long at the expense of Harris.

Coach Zimmer thinks @JakeLong77 could get some snaps during Sunday's game.

Interesting. I'm assuming the Bears will start him then, but who knows?

#Vikings for now are No. 1 in the NFL in scoring defense & total defense. Only times in team history has happened for a season: 1969, 1970.

More tweets/notes from Chris Tomasson ‏@christomasson:

#Vikings next Monday at Chicago will try to win first Monday Night Football road game since 10/6/08 at Saints (30-27). Have lost 5 straight.

#Vikings for now are No. 1 in the NFL in scoring defense & total defense. Only times in team history has happened for a season: 1969, 1970.

#Vikings T.J. Clemmings has maintained his standing by Pro Football Focus as the 75th and lowest-rated tackle in NFL.

The 51 snaps logged Sunday by #Vikings WR Cordarrelle Patterson were most since he had 54 on Nov. 2, 2014 vs. Washington
