The Vikings need help at safety outside of Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris.
Now, help is on the way.
Vikings announced Thursday that they have signed S George Iloka to the practice squad. Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reported before Iloka was signed to the practice squad that he could be signed to the 53-man roster before the Colts game.
Of course that could still happen before the game. Minnesota’s safeties on the active roster right now are Harris, Smith and Nate Meadors. On the practice squad, safety Josh Metellus and Iloka are the two options.
Last game, Smith and Harris played all 78 defensive snaps, but it would be nice if one of those options below them on the depth chart stepped up to the point where they could get breaks every now and then.
