Vikings elevate Kyle Van Noy and DeeJay Dallas for season opener

The Minnesota Vikings have elevated outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy and running back DeeJay Dallas from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's season opener against the Green Bay Packers. The game takes place at U.S. Bank Stadium. Van Noy provides defensive depth behind Dallas Turner and Andrew Van Ginkel, having previously played for defensive coordinator Brian Flores in New England and Miami. Dallas joins the team's backfield rotation alongside Jordan Mason, Aaron Jones, and Demond Claiborne, with the possibility of contributing in the return game. While the Vikings entered the weekend without any players carrying injury designations, these roster moves provide additional veteran depth for the opening game. Both players are eligible for three elevations per season before needing a full contract upgrade to remain on the active roster. They are scheduled to revert to the practice squad following the game against the Packers.
