Vikings Place DL Elijah Williams on Injured Reserve with Ankle Injury

The Minnesota Vikings placed undrafted rookie defensive tackle Elijah Williams on injured reserve Monday. This move follows an ankle injury he sustained in Week 17 against the Lions. Williams appeared in seven games for the Vikings this season, contributing 42 snaps on defense and 29 on special teams, accumulating nine tackles. He had earned a spot on the active roster due to his strong preseason performance.
