Minnesota Vikings claim offensive linemen Nick Samac and Trevor Keegan

The Minnesota Vikings added two offensive linemen to their roster following the league-wide waiver deadline on August 31, 2026. The team successfully claimed center Nick Samac and guard Trevor Keegan from the waiver wire. Samac, a 2024 draft pick by the Baltimore Ravens, spent time with the Carolina Panthers during the 2025 season where he primarily contributed on special teams. Keegan joins the organization after previous stints with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys, the latter of which ended following an injury. These additions occur as the franchise finalizes its 53-man roster for the upcoming season. While the team cut several players to meet roster requirements on Sunday, none of the released Vikings were claimed by other NFL clubs. Minnesota management has not yet announced the specific roster transactions required to accommodate the arrival of the two new offensive linemen.
