The Minnesota Vikings have added cornerback Bryce Phillips to their roster and placed safety Jamal Adams on injured reserve. This move follows Adams' recent injury suffered during the preseason opener, effectively ending his season. Phillips, who went undrafted in April and briefly joined the Kansas City Chiefs, played college football at San Diego State after starting his career at Tennessee State. He is the second member of his family to enter the NFL, with his brother Clark Phillips III already active in the league. This signing addresses the Vikings' need for depth in the secondary after Adams' injury, but it may not significantly alter their outlook for the season.
