Minnesota Vikings release wide receiver Dontae Fleming with injury settlement

The Minnesota Vikings officially waived wide receiver Dontae Fleming on Thursday after the two parties reached an injury settlement. The move follows an undisclosed injury that sidelined the second-year player late in the preseason. Fleming, an undrafted free agent who spent his rookie season on the Vikings' practice squad, now enters the waiver wire. Should he clear waivers, he will become an unrestricted free agent. The Vikings maintain significant depth at the position, with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and newcomer Jauan Jennings expected to lead the receiving corps. The team opens its regular season schedule against the Green Bay Packers on September 13 at US Bank Stadium.
