With two 53-man roster spots opened up, the Vikings announced that they signed wide receiver Tim Jones and tight end Nick Vannett to the active roster from their practice squad. Both will add to the offense's depth and play on special teams. Vannett would be needed if Josh Oliver, who missed practice on Wednesday, can't play against the Falcons.

Former Minnesota kicker Parker Romo will be in uniform for the Atlanta Falcons against the Vikings on Sunday night.
