The Vikings waived starting CB Bashaud Breeland on Saturday after he had a verbal altercation at practice with coaches. Breeland leaving was the final strike for a regrettable signing.
Breeland struggled in his role on the Minnesota defense, but the Vikings still have to find a way to replace him in the lineup. CBs Cameron Dantzler and Kris Boyd should see more reps with Breeland gone. CB Tye Smith also appears to get a chance on the active roster for the Bears game, according to a report.
As reported by Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press, Smith will be promoted from the practice squad for the Monday night matchup in Chicago.
Smith is more of an option to fill out the bottom of the depth chart. Smith has played three of his five NFL seasons with the Titans. He has played in two games for the Vikings this season. He has zero defensive snaps and 14 special teams snaps. That could change on Monday.
