THE APEX TIMES
Minnesota added inside linebacker Josh Ross and running back Damon Bankston to its practice squad as it moves into a short week and a Sunday visit to Green Bay.
The Minnesota Vikings signed inside linebacker Josh Ross and running back Damon Bankston to their practice squad, according to a team announcement Wednesday in Eagan, Minn.
Ross, 27, spent the final month of the 2025 season on Minnesota’s practice squad and was with the team until roster cuts in August. The release adds that he was on the Seahawks practice squad for a week this October.
An undrafted free agent out of Michigan in 2022, Ross began his pro career with Baltimore and appeared in 10 games for Seattle in 2024. The team also notes his NFL experience has been exclusively on special teams in 22 career games, with 11 tackles on that unit.
Bankston, 23, is an undrafted rookie. Minnesota’s release says he initially joined the Giants and was waived at final cuts, then followed with stints on the Packers practice squad in September and October.
The Vikings framed the additions as part of their week-to-week roster building while they prepare for a matchup at Green Bay on Sunday. The team’s note also lists the current position groups: a linebacker room that includes Blake Cashman, Eric Wilson, Ivan Pace Jr., and Jake Golday, and a backfield that includes Aaron Jones Sr., Jordan Mason, and DeeJay Dallas.
The announcement further mentions that rookie running back Demond Claiborne was placed on injured reserve before Minnesota’s game against Buffalo.
