Minnesota Vikings make necessary roster move heading into Week 9 vs. Detroit Lions who can help them for the stretch run

The fact that Wolford has experience in the offense is going to be really important for both the Vikings as a whole and the duo of McCarthy and Brosmer. During his career that spans from 2018, Wolford spent the 2019 training camp with the Los Angeles Rams and the 2020-2022 seasons with the franchise. That experience in the Sean McVay system, along with working with O'Connell, is a really important aspect to this signing.

He will be on the practice squad, with O'Connell confirming that Brosmer would be the backup moving forward. His experience, including four starts, will be a factor in helping the Vikings through the rest of the season.
