EAGAN, Minn.The Vikings on Thursday added two receivers and waived another as the team was concluding its second week of voluntary Organized Team Activity practices.
Minnesota signed rookies Michael Briscoe and Trayvon Rudolph, the team's first two acquisitions under new General Manager Nolan Teasley, who was introduced during a press conference Wednesday.
Briscoe and Rudolph each initially entered the NFL last month as undrafted free agents with Seattle, Teasley's former team. Both were released by the Seahawks after short stints.
Briscoe is listed at 6-foot-2 and 209 pounds. At Cal Poly last season, he caught 43 passes for 779 yards and seven touchdowns.
Briscoe had a solid year in 2024, too, posting 25 catches for 538 yards (21.5 avg.) and four scores. In four seasons and 36 games overall for the Mustangs, Briscoe nabbed 87 passes for 1,765 yards and 15 TDs. The California native also passed for two touchdowns and rushed for one.
Rudolph is listed at 5-10 and 187 pounds. He concluded his college career at Toledo in 2025, recording 39 receptions for 435 yards and two touchdowns. Rudolph also returned 18 kickoffs for 374 yards and one score.
The Illinois native, who attended the same high school (Crete-Monee) as former Vikings receiver Laquon Treadwell, began his college career at Northern Illinois in 2020. Over the course of 42 games through 2024, Rudolph caught 151 passes for 2,032 yards and 10 touchdowns for the Huskies. He also returned 58 kickoffs for 1,312 yards and one score.
Additionally, the Vikings released receiver Joaquin Davis, who first joined Minnesota's practice squad in December and signed a contract in January. Davis spent the 2025 offseason with Denver after joining the Broncos as an undrafted free agent.
