The Vikings are signing nose tackle Khyiris Tonga off the Falcons’ practice squad, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.
Tonga entered the league as a seventh-round choice of the Bears in 2021.
He played 15 games last season and made 24 tackles, a tackle for loss and had a fumble recovery as a rookie. 
The Bears cut Tonga on Aug. 31, and he signed with the Falcons’ practice squad.
He has not appeared in a game this season.

They need depth on the defensive line.  After Phillips and Tomlinson they have nobody to rotate in because Lynch doesn't really contribute much.

Is it a coincidence the Vikings acquired Reagor right before the Eagles game, Blough right before the Lions game and Tonga right before the Bears game?

Put Tonga in as the nose tackle and Phillips/Tomlinson on each side as the ends.  Now you should have enough beef along the defensive line...
