Vikings Agree To Terms With LB Thomas

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) ― The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms with linebacker Dontarrious Thomas to bolster a banged-up unit.

Thomas played his first four seasons in Minnesota before leaving for bigger money with San Francisco. Thomas was waived in training camp and has been looking for work ever since.

He was the primary backup at all three positions last year in Minnesota, and the Vikings are going to need him to step back in quickly this year. Starting middle linebacker E.J. Henderson is out for the year with a foot injury. His backup, David Herron, was banged up in Sunday's win over Detroit and may not be able to play this week.

Coach Brad Childress says Thomas is excited to be back in the mix and he expects him to be ready to play at Chicago on Sunday.
