Vikings release RB Deejay Dallas to make room for Jordan Mason

The Vikings released running back Deejay Dallas on Friday, according to NFL personnel notices. This move paves the way for Jordan Mason's return to the active roster after he was placed on injured reserve with a fractured thumb. Although Mason is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, the release of Dallas suggests his potential availability. Dallas has participated in five games this season, logging 40 offensive snaps and 92 on special teams, with seven touches for 44 yards. The Vikings may consider re-signing Dallas to the practice squad ahead of the game.
