Dakota Dozier: Lands on COVID list
The Vikings placed Dozier on their practice squad's COVID-19 list Friday.
Dozier managed to start for the Vikings at offensive guard for all 16 games during the 2020 season; however, he's spent his 2021 campaign on Minnesota's practice squad. The offensive guard now finds himself on the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be able to return to the practice field for at least a few days. It's possible the Vikings sign a player to fill in for Dozier while he's on the practice squad reserve list.
