MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings have filled out their practice squad – and there are a lot of familiar faces. 

In fact, the first 12 players added to the practice squad were on the team's 90-man roster over the offseason before Tuesday's deadline to cut the roster down to 53 players.

Some of the notable practice squad signings include 2023 seventh-round running back DeWayne McBride and offseason acquisition cornerback Joejuan Williams.
