The Minnesota Vikings signed 13-year veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy to the team's practice squad on Tuesday following a successful workout. The move provides the Vikings with experienced depth at the outside linebacker position after Tyler Batty sustained a season-ending ACL injury during the preseason. Van Noy reunites with defensive coordinator Brian Flores, having previously played under him with the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins. During his time in New England, Van Noy helped secure two Super Bowl titles while working with Flores. The veteran pass rusher is expected to spend time on the practice squad to ramp up his fitness before potentially joining the active roster. Van Noy arrives in Minnesota after playing 15 games for the Baltimore Ravens in 2025, where he recorded two sacks and 25 pressures.
