Defensive end Stephen Weatherly has spent his first four NFL seasons with the Vikings and he says he is back on the team for the 2021 season.
Weatherly signed a two-year deal with the Panthers as a free agent last year, but was released by Carolina last month. Weatherly wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday that he is back with the team for another tour.
The Vikings made no announcement about Weatherly’s return.
Weatherly started the first nine games of the 2020 season, but spent the rest of the year on an injured reserve after injuring his finger. He had 67 tackles, six sacks and two forced fobbles in his first tournament with the Vikings.
