Minnesota managed to get quarterback John David Booty through waivers and onto its practice squad Sunday. It would have been a surprise had someone claimed him, but stranger things have happened.
For what it’s worth, we now have three NFC North teams with a quarterback on their practice squad. Booty joins Brian Brohm in Green Bay and Brett Basanez in Chicago; in the latter two cases, the maneuver allows the team to use only two active roster spots on quarterbacks. Given the relative rarity of a No. 3 quarterback actually playing in a game, it’s definitely the preferred scenario.
Tight end Garrett Mills, a strong pass-catcher who spent most of the past two seasons with the Vikings, also signed back to their practice squad. The remainder of Minnesota’s list:
- Defensive back Colt Anderson
- Offensive tackle Chris Clark
- Tailback Ian Johnson
- Defensive tackle Tremaine Johnson
- Receiver Nick Moore
- Offensive tackle Drew Radovich
