Rookie defensive end Hercules Mata'afa tore his ACL in a Vikings OTA practice earlier this month and the team made a move to fill his roster spot on Wednesday.

The Vikings announced that they have signed linebacker Mike Needham. Mata’afa has been waived with an injury designation and will revert to injured reserve or receive an injury settlement if he goes unclaimed.

Needham signed with the Cardinals after going undrafted out of Southern Utah Telvin Smith Jersey , but was waived after their rookie minicamp. Needham was named a first-team All-Big Sky player after three of his collegiate seasons and posted 100 tackles and seven tackles for loss in his final college campaign.

Needham will get his first on-field work with the Vikings when training camp opens in late July.

I’m technically on vacation. But since my work isn’t really work, I’ll just keep working.

Monday’s non-work work included posting several stories at PFT Calvin Johnson Jersey , taping seven videos that appear throughout the NBCSports.com platforms, and recording a joint #PFTPM/PFT Live podcast for your listening pleasure. Or otherwise.

There were topics and takes and plenty of questions. So check it all out below Thomas Davis Jersey , and be sure to subscribe to both the PFT Live and #PFTPM podcasts.

Coming later this week, tentatively: former Raiders president Amy Trask Cordy Glenn Jersey , Peter King of NBC, and the second edition of what we’ll call Fridays with Florio Jr. Ryan Kalil Jersey , a free-form discussion between father and son.
