Vikings' Nick Muse: Catches TD in preseason debut
Muse had three receptions on four targets for 10 yards, including a four-yard touchdown catch, in Thursday's preseason loss at Seattle.
Muse is mostly known as a blocker and special-teams player, but he showed some red zone ability with a towering grab over a defender for a touchdown. He helped his case to win a final reserve role on the roster but may have to settle for the practice squad.

Vikings' Nick Muse: Inks another deal with Minnesota
Muse signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Monday.
Muse bounced back and forth between Minnesota's active roster and practice squad this season. Over 10 appearances, the rookie seventh-rounder served as a core special-teamer while playing just two offensive snaps all season. Muse will look to carve out a larger role on offense heading into the 2023 campaign.

Vikings' Nick Muse: Signs with active roster

Nick Muse: Returns to practice squad
The Vikings reverted Muse to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Minnesota elevated Muse for the second time this season prior to Sunday's Week 9 win over the Commanders. Though the 23-year-old didn't log any snaps on offense, he did see four special-teams snaps. Even if he's elevated again, Muse is unlikely to see much (if any) work on offense with T.J. Hockenson and Johnny Mundt ahead of him on the depth chart.

Nick Muse: Returns to practice squad
Muse reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Muse received the promotion with Ben Ellefson out with a groin injury. The rookie tight end played six snaps on special teams, but he did not record any stats. With Ellefson now on IR, it's possible Muse could be elevated to the active roster in Week 6 against the Dolphins.

Vikings' Nick Muse: Elevated to active roster
The Vikings elevated Muse on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Muse, a rookie seventh-round pick, caught four passes for 40 yards during the preseason and landed a spot on the Vikings' practice squad after going unclaimed through waivers at the end of August. Minnesota recently placed Ben Ellefson (groin) on injured reserve, so Muse will compete with Johnny Mundt for backup snaps behind Irv Smith.

Vikings' Nick Muse: Minnesota selects in seventh round
The Vikings selected Muse in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 227th overall.
Muse played most recently at South Carolina, where he served as a rotational tight end after transferring there from William & Mary. Muse wasn't especially productive in college but showed standout athleticism at his pro day workout, logging a 4.71-second 40 at a big 6-foot-6, 258 pounds. He's an interesting developmental tight end for the Vikings.
