Nick Muse has been signed to the Vikings' practice squad, adding depth to the team's tight end position. This move comes as part of a roster shuffle that included the release of tight end Robert Tonyan.

Nick Muse experienced a tough birthday when he was cut by the Vikings on his 26th birthday, just hours after receiving well wishes from the team. This unfortunate timing is not new to the Muse family, as his brother Tanner was also cut on his birthday, turning both events into a unique, albeit bittersweet, piece of NFL history. Nick embraced the coincidence, celebrating the legendary aspect of their shared experience while acknowledging the challenges that come with it.

Nick Muse was waived by the Minnesota Vikings on his birthday, a poignant coincidence as his brother Tanner experienced the same fate three years ago with the Raiders. Despite the disappointment of being cut just days after being activated from injured reserve, Nick maintained a positive outlook, humorously acknowledging the rarity of two brothers being waived on their birthdays and expressing gratitude for the birthday messages he received. In his three seasons with the Vikings, he played in 15 games, recording one reception for 22 yards.

Nick Muse has been activated from injured reserve to play against Chicago, filling a roster spot after the Vikings waived cornerback Akayleb Evans. His return comes in light of tight end Josh Oliver being ruled out due to a sprained ankle.

Nick Muse is currently sidelined due to a fractured hand, leaving the Vikings without a backup long snapper. With All-Pro long snapper Andrew DePaola healthy, the team is turning to center Garrett Bradbury as the next option for long snapping duties. Special teams coordinator Matt Daniels praised Bradbury's precision in this role.
