Minnesota Vikings Release Running Back DeeJay Dallas On Friday

The Minnesota Vikings released running back DeeJay Dallas on Friday to make room for running back Jordan Mason's return to the active roster. Mason fractured his thumb in the season opener against the Packers and was placed on injured reserve. Dallas has played 40 offensive snaps and 92 on special teams across five games, tallying seven touches for 44 yards. He is not subject to waivers and could potentially sign back to the team's practice squad to be activated for Sunday.
