Vikings Add Super Bowl Champ Van Noy to Roster
10 Sep
Summary
- Veteran Kyle Van Noy joined the Vikings' practice squad last week.
- He is expected to provide depth and pressure to the team's pass rush.
- Van Noy's projected workload against the Packers is 25-30 defensive snaps.
Kyle Van Noy, a seasoned veteran with two Super Bowl titles, has recently joined the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad. This move significantly bolsters the team's pass rush depth, with Van Noy set to be the primary backup for edge-rushing starters Dallas Turner and Andrew Van Ginkel. His extensive league experience is anticipated to be a considerable asset to the defense.
Defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who has a history with Van Noy from their time in Miami and New England, is known for his strategic pressure schemes. Van Noy is expected to step in effectively when Turner or Van Ginkel require a break, offering solid contributions. His anticipated workload against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 is projected to be between 25 and 30 defensive snaps.
Based on his recent performance averages, Van Noy could achieve approximately two tackles and half a sack during his expected playing time. However, the team emphasizes that his value lies in providing pressure and consistent tackling rather than flashy statistics. A solid performance will make him a valuable addition to the Vikings' defensive unit.
