WARE, Hertfordshire, EnglandA Minnesota native has signed to the Vikings practice squad, joining the team across the Atlantic, the team announced Tuesday.
Offensive lineman Matt Waletzko, who is from Cold Spring and played high school football for Rocori before attending North Dakota, traveled overseas to meet the Vikings at their UK headquarters.
The rest of the team arrived in England Monday afternoon after playing in Ireland on Sunday.
Waletzko was selected by Dallas in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft and has played 11 games over the past three seasons.
In order to make room for Waletzko, the Vikings released receiver Tim Jones, who had spent time this season on Minnesota's 53-man roster and the practice squad. Jones played six offensive snaps and 25 on special teams.
