Vikings, Eagles Add Veteran Defensive Backs Amid Secondary Depth Concerns

The Philadelphia Eagles continue to bolster their cornerback depth by signing former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Ambry Thomas to their practice squad, addressing the uncertain status of the No. 2 cornerback spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings have enhanced their secondary by adding veteran safety K’Von Wallace to their practice squad, aiming to solidify depth behind their starting defense. Despite concerns about the Vikings' limited cornerback roster, the team is strategically prioritizing pass rush talent, relying on a strong edge rusher trio including Myles Garrett and Jonathan Greenard, rather than making significant changes to their cornerback group. The Vikings also retained veteran cornerback Fabian Moreau on their practice squad for added experience and depth, as they seek to develop younger talent like rookie Zemaiah Vaughn. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has expressed confidence in the current secondary depth, dismissing calls for major additions despite fan concerns. Both teams are actively managing their rosters to balance immediate needs with long-term development as the 2025 NFL season approaches.
