Vikings Place Nick Easton on IR, Sign Long Snapper Overbaugh

Eden Prairie, MN (December 26, 2017) – The Vikings announced on Tuesday that the club has placed guard Nick Easton on the Reserve/Injured list and signed long snapper Jeff Overbaugh.

Overbaugh joins the Vikings after spending the 2016 training camp with the Los Angeles Rams, followed by short stints with the Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears earlier this year. Overbaugh entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2016. The former Anchorage, Alaska native appeared in all 53 games at San Diego State and produced a perfect 409-409 snap attempts during his career. In 2016, he was named the top specialist at the Reese’s Senior Bowl.

I think you are want him a backup.  But he needs to practice with the TEs not the specialists

Morgan is a long snapper strictly on an emergency basis. It was an emergency in the GB game and he did what he needed to do. Not getting a long snapper now would be nuts. The Vikings are not nuts.
