Andre Carter II is among the 17 players included on the Vikings' practice squad. He is positioned as a linebacker, adding depth to the team's defensive lineup.

Andre Carter II could be a target for the Bengals after being released by the Vikings. With Myles Murphy set to miss four games and Cam Sample out for the season, the Bengals may consider adding Carter, though his inexperience might lead them to seek a more seasoned option. Strengthening the defensive end position is a priority, and Carter is among the candidates being evaluated.

Andre Carter II was waived as part of the Vikings' roster cuts as the team finalized their 53-player limit.

Carter, a potential first-round pick from Army, faced uncertainty due to new NCAA regulations, but ended up signing with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent. His success in the NFL not only showcases his talent but also serves as a valuable marketing tool for West Point and the U.S. Army in recruitment efforts.

Jones struggled to finish last season and had one sack in a career-high 388 pass rushes. Coaches didn't play Carter much despite being a priority undrafted signing.
