Vikings elevate Kyle Van Noy and Tavierre Thomas for Buccaneers game

The Minnesota Vikings have elevated outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy and safety Tavierre Thomas from the practice squad for their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This decision comes after the Vikings' win over the Chicago Bears. Van Noy has been elevated in each of the first three games, reaching the NFL's limit for practice squad elevations. With Johnny Hekker signed to the 53-man roster after Nick Samac was placed on injured reserve, the Vikings face a roster decision if they aim to keep Van Noy beyond this game. Both Van Noy and Thomas are expected to play key roles, particularly in light of linebacker depth concerns.
