Despite not making the initial 53-man Vikings roster, N’Keal Harry’s NFL career will not end in 2024. According to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert and The Athletic’s Alec Lewis, Minnesota added the New England Patriots draft flop back to its practice squad on Wednesday. The 26-year-old was cut by the Vikings as part of their 53-man roster reductions the day before he was signed.
The Arizona State graduate did not record a single stat in nine games for Minnesota the previous season. In an attempt to relieve T.J. Hockenson, who will begin the season on the physically unable to perform list while recovering from ruptured ACL and MCL, the 2019 first-round pick switched from wide receiver to tight end this offseason. At 35-1 to win the NFC, FanDuel Sportsbook has the Vikings.
Harry became an infamous figure among Patriots fans for not living up to his draft status in the three seasons he played in Foxboro, Mass. He was traded to the Chicago Bears during the 2022 season when his production — or lack thereof — remained the same. In five NFL seasons, Harry has 64 receptions off 112 targets for 714 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
